A turbulence model applied to the diurnal cycle

Creator:: Halliwell, Vicki M.
Abstract:: Under light wind conditions, the alternation of daytime heating and nighttime cooling creates a characteristic response in the oceanic boundary layer known as the diurnal cycle. The Mellor/Yamada Level II turbulence closure model is used to analyze this response pattern. The diurnal cycle has three phases. During morning and early...

The role of inertial oscillations in the dynamics of coastal upwelling

Creator:: Pelegri, Jose L.
Abstract:: A finite difference scheme is employed to solve the integral form of the momentum, continuity and heat equations, for a two layer ocean bounded by a coastline. The momentum equations include the turbulent dynamics and the time-dependent and nonlinear terms in both the cross-shelf and alongshelf directions. The system of...

Diet selection by conditioned and unconditioned goats in the sagebrush steppe of Eastern Oregon

Creator:: Richman, Lesley M.
Abstract:: This research examined the diets of angora goats on a sagebrush bunchgrass rangeland. Research objectives were to 1) determine the effects of a positive conditioning method on both mature and immature angora goats; and 2) to quantify plant selection and provide preliminary information as to the potential for using goats...

Extracting the internal tide from data: Methods and observations from the Mixed Layer Dynamics Experiment

Creator:: Levine, Murray D. and Richman, James G.
Abstract:: Several methods are developed for analyzing data containing a highly variable internal tide. In particular, the methods are aimed at the analysis of moored observations with relatively few measurements in the vertical. The analysis depends upon an "elliptical decomposition" that is a generalization of the familiar "rotary decomposition." The technique...

Geosat altimeter observations of the surface circulation of the Southern Ocean

Creator:: Chelton, Dudley B., Schlax, Michael G., Witter, Donna L., and Richman, James G.
Abstract:: The variability of sea level and surface geostrophic currents in the Southern Ocean is investigated from the first 26 months of unclassified Geosat altimeter data (November 1986 to December 1988). Because of problems unique to Geosat, it has been necessary to develop new techniques for analyzing the height data. These...

Location and dynamics of the Antarctic Polar Front from satellite sea surface temperature data

Creator:: Moore, J. Keith, Abbott, Mark R., and Richman, James G.
Abstract:: The location of the Antarctic Polar Front (PF) was mapped over a 7-year period (1987-1993) within images of satellite-deprived sea surface temperature. The mean path of the PF is strongly steered by the topographic features of the Southern Ocean. The topography places vorticity constraints on the dynamics of the PF...

The Southern Ocean at the last glacial maximum : a strong sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide

Creator:: Moore, J. Keith, Abbott, Mark R., Richman, James G., and Nelson, David M.
Abstract:: Analysis of satellite ocean color, sea surface temperature, and sea ice cover data reveals consistent patterns between biological production, iron availability, and physical forcings in the Southern Ocean. The consistency of these patterns, in conjunction with information on physical conditions during the last glacial maximum (LGM), enables estimates of export...
