Upper ocean thermohaline fields near 2°S, 156°E, during the Tropical Ocean-Global Atmosphere - Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment, November 1992 to February 1993

Creator:: Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, Lukas, Roger, and Hacker, Peter
Abstract:: Zonal and meridional Seasoar sections centered at 1°50’S, 156°06’E were repeated >30 times in three 20-day periods between November 13, 1992, and February 15, 1993. Both sections were 130 km long, and sampling depth was 0–280 m, with a vertical resolution of ~2 dbar (2 x 104 Pa) and a...

Hydrographic conditions off northern Chile during the 1996–1998 La Nina and El Nino events

Creator:: Blanco, Jose Luis, Carr, Mary-Elena, Thomas, Andrew C., and Strub, P. Ted
Abstract:: The evolution of oceanographic conditions in the upwelling region off northern Chile (18°–24°S) between 1996 and 1998 (including the 1997–1998 El Niño) is presented using hydrographic measurements acquired on quarterly cruises of the Chilean Fisheries Institute, with sea surface temperature (SST), sea level, and wind speeds from Arica (18.5°S), Iquique...

Evidence for diffuse exension of the Pacific plate from Pukapuka ridges and cross-grain gravity lineations

Creator:: Sandwell, David T., Winterer, Edward L., Mammerickx, Jacqueline, Duncan, Robert A., Lynch, Mary Ann, Levitt, Daniel A., and Johnson, Catherine L.
Abstract:: Satellite altimeter measurements of marine gravity reveal 100 to 200-km wavelength lineations over a wide area of the Pacific plate oriented roughly in the direction of absolute plate motion. At least three mechanisms have been proposed for their origin: smallscale convective rolls aligned in the direction of absolute plate motion...

Observation of playa salts as nuclei in orographic wave clouds

Creator:: Pratt, Kerri A., Twohy, Cynthia, Murphy, Shane M., Moffet, Ryan C., Heymsfield, Andrew J., Gaston, Cassandra J., DeMott, Paul J., Field, Paul R., Henn, Tobias R., Rogers, David C., Gilles, Mary K., Seinfeld, John H., and Prather, Kimberly A.
Abstract:: During the Ice in Clouds Experiment‐Layer Clouds (ICE‐L), dry lakebed, or playa, salts from the Great Basin region of the United States were observed as cloud nuclei in orographic wave clouds over Wyoming. Using a counterflow virtual impactor in series with a single‐particle mass spectrometer, sodium‐potassium‐magnesium‐calcium‐chloride salts were identified as...

Observations and assessment of forest carbon dynamics following disturbance in North America

Creator:: Goetz, S. J., Bond-Lamberty, B., Law, B. E., Hicke, J. A., Huang, C., Houghton, R. A., McNulty, S., O'Halloran, T., Harmon, M., Meddens, A. J. H., Pfeifer, E. M., Mildrexler, D., and Kasischke, E. S.
Abstract:: Disturbance processes of various types substantially modify ecosystem carbon dynamics both temporally and spatially, and constitute a fundamental part of larger landscape-level dynamics. Forests typically lose carbon for several years to several decades following severe disturbance, but our understanding of the duration and dynamics of post-disturbance forest carbon fluxes remains...

Sea surface temperature fronts in the California Current System from geostationary satellite observations

Creator:: Castelao, Renato M., Mavor, Timothy P., Barth, John A., and Breaker, Laurence C.
Abstract:: Sea surface temperature (SST) fronts are determined for the 2001–2004 time period from Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) data in the California Current System (CCS). The probability of detecting a SST front at an individual pixel location in the CCS is presented as a bi-monthly climatology. Fronts clearly indicate the...

Turbulence variability at the equator in the central Pacific at the beginning of the 1991-1993 El Nino

Creator:: Lien, R.-C., Caldwell, Douglas R., Gregg, M.C., and Moum, James N.
Abstract:: A 38-day, 5990-cast microstructure study on the equator performed during the onset of the 1991-1993 El Nino shows the effect on small-scale activity at 140°W of an equatorial Kelvin wave. By using two ships, data were taken continuously from November 4 to December 12, 1991, near the National Oceanic and...

Turbulence beneath sea ice and leads: a coupled sea ice/large-eddy simulation study

Creator:: Skyllingstad, Eric D. and Denbo, Donald W.
Abstract:: The importance of leads, sea ice motion, and frazil ice on the wintertime ocean Boundary layer was examined by using a large-eddy simulation turbulence model coupled to a thermodynamic slab ice model. Coupling was achieved through exchange coefficients that accounted for the differing diffusion rates of heat and salinity. Frazil...

An analysis of the optical features of the near-bottom and bottom nepheloid layers in the area of the Scotian Rise

Creator:: Spinrad, Richard W. and Zaneveld, J. Ronald
Abstract:: Profiles of light transmission versus depth have been studied in the region of the Scotian Rise of the North Atlantic at bottom depths between 4900 and 5000 m. A component model has been developed and consists of three components of transmission which can be combined to duplicate accurately any given...

Evaporative dense water formation and cross‐shelf exchange over the northwest Australian inner shelf

Creator:: Shearman, R. Kipp and Brink, Kenneth H.
Abstract:: High‐resolution surveys of oceanographic and atmospheric conditions made during the winter over the inner shelf off northwest Australia are used to examine the coastal ocean response to large outgoing heat and freshwater fluxes. Relatively cool, low‐humidity air blows off the Australian continent out over the tropical continental shelf, resulting in...
