Surface wind modification near mid-latitude ocean fronts : observational and dynamical analysis

Creator:: O'Neill, Larry W.
Abstract:: Interactions between surface winds and meanders in mid-latitude sea surface temperature (SST) fronts with horizontal length scales of 100-1000 km are investigated from satellite observations and numerical simulations. Observations from the Sea- Winds scatterometer on the QuikSCAT satellite show that the magnitude, direction, curl, and divergence of the surface wind...

The cross-equatorial structure of tropical instability waves in sea surface height

Creator:: Lyman, John M.
Abstract:: A linearized model with two vertical modes has been developed to understand observed characteristics of monthly variability in the Equatorial Pacific from TOPEX/POSEIDON measurements of Sea Surface Height (SSH). The 2-mode model is obtained from an equatorial beta plane model that has been linearized about a geostrophically balanced mean flow...

Calibration of the Nimbus-7 scanning multichannel microwave radiometer (SMMR), 1979-1984

Creator:: Francis, Erika A.
Abstract:: Six years of Nimbus-7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) data from 1979 to 1984 are recalibrated at the radiometric level. New statistical techniques are developed to quantify the temporal and orbital data errors and to generate numerical corrections for brightness temperatures prior to estimation of geophysical parameters. The foundations of...

Unstable jet flow along zonal ridge topography

Creator:: Witter, Donna Lynn
Abstract:: Motivated by observations of locally enhanced sea level variability near steep topographic slopes in regions of strong time-mean flows, effects of zonal ridge topography on zonal oceanic jet flow are investigated. Unstable wave properties and the dynamics of eddy-mean flow interaction are evaluated as a function of topographic geometry using...

Seasonal variability of zooplankton off the California coast : box model approach

Creator:: Barnard, Andrew Heath
Abstract:: In an effort to elucidate the mechanism responsible for large-scale zooplankton variability in the California Current, zooplankton biomass and hydrographic data from the California Cooperative Fisheries Investigation data set and wind data from Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center model analyses have been used to construct a box model biomass budget. The...

Effects of maternal age on reproductive success in black rockfish, Sebastes melanops

Creator:: Bobko, Stephen J.
Abstract:: From 1996 through 1998 I collected mature female black rockfish off Oregon and examined ovaries and otoliths to estimate weekly, age-specific larval production. In all reproductive seasons, older black rockfish extruded larvae earlier in the season, followed by progressively younger fish. Each year, beginning in May, I collected young-of-the-year (YOY)...

Satellite observations of the inﬂuence of mesoscale ocean eddies on near-surface temperature, phytoplankton and surface stress

Creator:: Gaube, Peter
Abstract:: The influence of mesoscale ocean eddies on near-surface ocean temperature, surface stress and phytoplankton communities is investigated by collocating numerous satellite measurements along with vertical profiles of oceanic temperature and salinity to the interiors of eddies identified and tracked in altimetric sea surface height maps. The surface currents associated with...
