An atmospheric tape recorder: the imprint of tropical tropopause temperatures on stratospheric water vapor

Creator:: Mote, Philip W., Rosenlof, Karen H., McIntyre, Michael E., Carr, Ewan S, Gille, John C., Holton, James R., Kinnersley, Jonathan S., Pumphrey, Hugh C., Russell, James M., and Waters, Joe W.
Abstract:: We describe observations of tropical stratospheric water vapor q that show clear evidence of large‐scale upward advection of the signal from annual fluctuations in the effective “entry mixing ratio” qE of air entering the tropical stratosphere. In other words, air is “marked,” on emergence above the highest cloud tops, like...

Assessment of vessel disturbance to gray whales to inform sustainable ecotourism

Creator:: Sullivan, Florence A. and Torres, Leigh G.
Abstract:: Ecotourism is a movement that seeks to sustain local communities by uniting conservation, travel, and education. To minimize effects on animal behavior, ecotourism operations must be carefully managed. Local management efforts that can be tailored to the specific area and animals may be more successful than broad‐scale efforts that may...

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...

Evolution of 1996-1999 La Niña and El Niño conditions off the western coast of South America: A remote sensing perspective

Creator:: Carr, Mary-Elena, Strub, P. Ted, Thomas, Andrew C., and Blanco, Jose Luis
Abstract:: We present the evolution of oceanographic conditions off the western coast of South America between 1996 and 1999, including the cold periods of 1996 and 1998–1999 and the 1997–1998 El Niño, using satellite observations of sea level, winds, sea surface temperature (SST), and chlorophyll concentration. Following a period of cold...

Potential for non-destructive astrochemistry using the ExoMars PanCam

Creator:: Storrie-Lombardi, Michael C., Muller, J.-P., Fisk, Martin R., Griffiths, A. D., and Coates, A. J.
Abstract:: We investigate the utility of adding a 365 nm ultraviolet (UV) light source to the ExoMars panoramic camera (PanCam) scheduled for launch in 2013. The modification makes it feasible to monitor rover drill cuttings for aromatic organic molecules and provide constraints on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) as a function of...

Comment on "seasonal variation in wind speed and sea state from global satellite measurements"

Creator:: Chelton, Dudley B.
Abstract:: In a recent paper, Sandwell and Agreen [1984; hereafter SA] presented figures of global seasonal wind speed and sea state as measured by the GEOS 3 satellite altimeter. Since that time, Chelton and McCabe [1985; hereafter CM] have found that problems exist in the algorithms used to retrieve wind speed...

Modeling upwelling circulation off the Oregon coast

Creator:: Gan, Jianping and Allen, John S.
Abstract:: Time‐dependent, three‐dimensional, upwelling circulation on the continental shelf off the Oregon coast is studied using a primitive equation numerical model. A limited area domain with a high‐resolution curvilinear grid is utilized. The response of the coastal ocean to forcing by observed wind stress and heat flux during the summer 2001...

Forcing a three-dimensional, hydrostatic, primitive-equation model for application in the surf zone : 2. application to DUCK94

Creator:: Newberger, P. A. and Allen, John S.
Abstract:: A three‐dimensional primitive‐equation model for application to the nearshore surf zone has been developed. This model, an extension of the Princeton Ocean Model (POM), predicts the wave‐averaged circulation forced by breaking waves. All of the features of the original POM are retained in the extended model so that applications can...

Assimilation of surface velocity data into a primitive equation coastal ocean model

Creator:: Oke, Peter R., Allen, John S., Miller, Robert N., Egbert, Gary D., and Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-
Abstract:: A data assimilation system (DAS) of the wind‐driven, mesoscale shelf circulation off the Oregon coast is developed. The DAS assimilates low‐pass filtered surface velocity measurements, obtained from land‐based high‐frequency coastal radar arrays, into a primitive equation coastal ocean model using a sequential optimal interpolation scheme. Inhomogeneous and anisotropic estimates of...

A modeling study of shelf circulation off northern California in the region of the Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment 2. Simulations and comparisons with observations

Creator:: Gan, Jianping and Allen, John S.
Abstract:: This is the second part of a modeling study of wind-forced flow on the continental shelf off northern California in the region (37°-40°N) of the Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment (CODE). Gan and Allen [2002] analyzed the shelf flow response to idealized wind stress forcing in a process-oriented study. The study...
