Estimate of bottom and surface stress during a spring-neap tide cycle by dynamical assimilation of tide gauge observations in the Chesapeake Bay

Creator:: Spitz, Yvette and Klinck, J. M.
Abstract:: Dynamical assimilation of surface elevation from tide gauges is investigated to estimate the bottom drag coefficient and surface stress as a first step in improving modeled tidal and wind-driven circulation in the Chesapeake Bay. A two-dimensional shallow water model and an adjoint variational method with a limited memory quasi-Newton optimization...

The Batchelor spectrum and dissipation in the upper ocean

Creator:: Dillon, Thomas M. and Caldwell, Douglas R.
Abstract:: Observations of vertical temperature microstructure at ocean station P during the mixed layer experiment (Mile) indicate that the shape of the high-frequency temperature gradient spectrum depends on the relative strengths of turbulence and stratification. For low Cox number ((dT/dz)²)/ (dT/dz)²• the linear range of the Batchelor spectrum is not well...

Intersite comparison of interannual nearshore bar behavior

Creator:: Ruessink, B. G., Wijnberg, K. M., Holman, R. A., Kuriyama, Y., and van Enckevort, I. M. J.
Abstract:: Long-term (>years) bathymetric data sets collected in six multiple near-shore sandbar systems were analyzed with complex empirical orthogonal function analysis to quantify intersite differences and similarities in cyclic offshore progressive bar behavior. The observations came from a 37-year annually sampled data set of four regions along the Dutch coast (spanning...

Error in predicting hydrosol backscattering from remotely sensed reflectance

Creator:: Weidemann, A. D., Stavn, R. H., Zaneveld, J. Ronald, and Wilcox, M. R.
Abstract:: Monte Carlo simulations are carried out to determine the error in the inversion of backscattering from remotely sensed reflectance when geometrical shape factors of the light field are assumed to be unity. The results show that error in backscattering inversion can vary from a 40% overestimation to a 20% underestimation...

Internal‐tide energy over topography

Creator:: Kelly, S. M., Nash, J. D., and Kunze, E.
Abstract:: The method used to separate surface and internal tides ultimately defines properties such as internal‐tide generation and the depth structure of internal‐tide energy flux. Here, we provide a detailed analysis of several surface‐/internal‐tide decompositions over arbitrary topography. In all decompositions, surface‐tide velocity is expressed as the depth average of total...

What is the skill of ocean tracers in reducing uncertainties about ocean diapycnal mixing and projections of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation?

Creator:: Schmittner, Andreas, Tonkonojenkov, Roman, Urban, Nathan M., Goes, Marlos, Haran, Murali, and Keller, Klaus
Abstract:: Current projections of the oceanic response to anthropogenic climate forcings are uncertain. Two key sources of these uncertainties are (1) structural errors in current Earth system models and (2) imperfect knowledge of model parameters. Ocean tracer observations have the potential to reduce these uncertainties. Previous studies typically consider each tracer...

Satellite-based detection and monitoring of phytoplankton blooms along the Oregon coast

Creator:: McKibben, S. M., Strutton, P. G., Foley, D. G., Peterson, T. D., and White, A. E.
Abstract:: We have applied a normalized difference algorithm to 8 day composite chlorophyll-a (CHL) and fluorescence line height (FLH) imagery obtained from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer aboard the Aqua spacecraft in order to detect and monitor phytoplankton blooms in the Oregon coastal region. The resulting bloom products, termed CHL[subscript rel]...

Effects of a Coastal Front on the Distribution of Chlorophyll in Lake Tahoe, California-Nevada

Creator:: Leigh-Abbott, Mark R., Coil, John A., Powell, Thomas M., and Richerson, Peter J.
Abstract:: The existence of a distinct coastal zone is confirmed in Lake Tahoe (California-Nevada) by horizontal transects measuring chlorophyll and temperature simultaneously. Creation of the coastal region is influenced by bottom topography, the nature of the surface wind stress, and the difference between physical processes occurring within a Rossby radius of...

Variability in satellite winds over the Benguela upwelling system during 1999–2000

Creator:: Risien, Craig M., Reason, C. J. C., Shillington, F. A., and Chelton, Dudley B.
Abstract:: Wind stress variability over the Benguela upwelling system is considered using 16 months (01 August 1999 to 29 November 2000) of satellite-derived QuikSCAT wind data. Variability is investigated using a type of artificial neural network, the self-organizing map (SOM), and a wavelet analysis. The SOM and wavelet analysis are applied...
