Creator:: Cuenca, Richard H., Ek, Michael, and Mahrt, Larry
Abstract:: Both the form of functional relationships applied for soil water properties and the natural field-scale variability of such properties can significantly impact simulation of the soil-plant-atmosphere system on a diurnal timescale. Various input parameters for soil water properties including effective saturation, residual water content, anerobiosis point, field capacity, and permanent...

Abstract:: Realistic hindcast of the Columbia River estuarine-plume-shelf circulation in summer 2004 using the Regional Ocean Modeling System nested within the Navy Coastal Ocean Model (NCOM) is quantitatively evaluated with an extensive set of observations. The model has about equal skill at tidal and subtidal properties. Tidal circulation and water properties...

Creator:: Mote, Philip W. and Frey, Richard
Abstract:: This paper shows a small sampling of the atmospheric fields provided by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), which is installed on both the Terra and Aqua satellites of the Earth Observing System. These fields include macroscale fields like cloud fraction, cloud top pressure, cloud optical depth, and column water...

Creator:: Zaneveld, J. Ronald and Spinrad, Richard W.
Abstract:: The solar energy flux as a function of depth (the irradiance profile) in the ocean is an important function. It influences the dynamics of the mixed layer via the heat budget as well as the biology of the euphotic zone. The following three-parameter model can take into account the very...

Creator:: Shell, Karen M. and Somerville, Richard C. J.
Abstract:: An idealized global climate model is used to explore the response of the climate to a wide range of dust radiative properties and dust layer heights. The top-of-the-atmosphere (TOA) shortwave forcing becomes more negative as the broadband shortwave single scattering albedo increases and the broadband shortwave asymmetry parameter decreases, but...

Creator:: Shell, Karen M. and Somerville, Richard C. J.
Abstract:: Airborne mineral dust can influence the climate by altering the radiative properties of the atmosphere, but the magnitude of the effect is uncertain. An idealized global model is developed to study the dust-climate system. The model determines the dust longwave and shortwave direct radiative forcing, as well as the resulting...

Creator:: Fetter, Antonio F. and Mantano, Richard P.
Abstract:: This article investigates the origins of the variability of the Malvinas Current (MC) transport using the results of an eddy-permitting ocean general circulation model. First, the dynamical links between the variabilities of the MC and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) transports at the Drake Passage are established. Time series analyses...

Creator:: Dewey, Richard K. and Moum, James N.
Abstract:: Microstructure observations near upwelled fronts indicate considerable variation in the structure of vertical mixing across the frontal region. Observations of cool filaments off northern California indicate that within the cool (dense) core of filaments the raised pycnocline inhibits the penetration to middepths of surface-generated mixing. The microstructure profiles are used...

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...

Abstract:: In tidally dominated deltas, sediment discharged from the river sources must transit through an estuarine region located within the distributary channels, where particle pathways can undergo significant transformations. Water column profiles and time series data were collected in the distributaries and shallow nearshore region offshore of the Fly River, Papua...
