Creator:: Holman, R. A. and Bowen, A. J.
Abstract:: In shallow water, any two waves of the same frequency are shown to produce complex patterns of drift velocity above the sea bed. If the longshore components λ₁, λ₂ of the wave numbers of the two waves are different, these steady flow patterns exhibit a longshore periodicity of wave number...

Creator:: Chelton, Dudley B. and McCabe, Patrick J.
Abstract:: The scheduled February 1985 launch of a radar altimeter aboard the U.S. Navy satellite Geosat has motivated an in-depth investigation of wind speed retrieval from satellite altimeters. The accuracy of sea surface wind speed estimated by the Seasat altimeter is examined by comparison with wind speed estimated by the Seasat...

Creator:: Watts, A. B., Weissel, J. K., Duncan, Robert A., and Larson, R. L.
Abstract:: We have combined shipboard and Seasat altimeter derived data in an intergrated geological and geophysical study of the Louisville Ridge; a 3500-km-long seamount chain extending from the Tonga trench to the Eltanin Fracture Zone. A break in the smooth trend of the ridge at latitude 37.5°S has been recognized in...

Creator:: Zaneveld, J. Ronald
Abstract:: An expression for the ratio of the upwelling nadir radiance L(π, z) and the downwelling scalar irradiance Eod(Z) is derived from the following equation of radiative transfer. This expression is given by RSR(z)=[L(π, z)]/Eod(Z) = [fb(z)bb(z)]/2π[k(π, z) + c(z) – fL(z)bf(z)], where bb(z) is the backscattering coefficient, k(π, z) is...

Creator:: S. H. Suanda, S. H., Barth, J. A., and Woodson, C. B.
Abstract:: In the summer of 2007, physical measurements including velocity from acoustic Doppler current profilers, surface gravity wave heights measured acoustically, and temperature from thermistor chain arrays were collected along- and across- the mid to inner shelf (water depths from 10–60 m) in northern Monterey Bay. The oceanic response to a...

Creator:: Chelton, Dudley B. and Wentz, Frank J.
Abstract:: A previous altimeter wind speed retrieval algorithm was developed on the basis of wind speeds in the the limited range from about 4 to 14 ms¯¹. In this paper, we use a new approach which gives a wind speed model function applicable over the range 0 to 21 ms¯¹. The...

Abstract:: During the upwelling season in central California, northwesterly winds along the coast produce a strong upwelling jet that originates at Point Año Nuevo and flows southward across the mouth of Monterey Bay. A convergent front with a mean temperature change of 3.77 ± 0.29°C develops between the warm interior waters...

Creator:: Holman, R. A. and Bowen, A. J.
Abstract:: Synchronous runup records were collected from 14 locations spaced irregularly over a 7 km stretch of a low-slope beach. The significant runup height, herein defined as the significant vertical excursion of water level at the shoreline, was typically 2 m, 60% of the incident significant wave height at the breakpoint....

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...

Abstract:: Global vegetation models require the photosynthetic parameters, maximum carboxylation capacity (V[subscript cm]), and quantum yield (alpha) to parameterize their plant functional types (PFTs). The purpose of this work is to determine how much the scaling of the parameters from leaf to ecosystem level through a seasonally varying leaf area index...
