Observational Analysis of Extratropical Cyclone Interactions with Northeast Pacific Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies

Creator:: Phillips, Briana K.
Abstract:: In 2013, a large upper-ocean thermal anomaly formed in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) with sea surface temperatures (SSTs) warmer than 4 degrees Celsius above the climatological norm. This warm anomaly persisted for the next three years and has been linked to downstream effects on North American climate and negative...

Full Text:: ). This ridging was hypothesized to suppress winter ocean heat loss to the atmosphere, leading to an

Sea level response to low-frequency atmospheric pressure fluctuations along the northwestern American coast

Creator:: Ma, Heau San
Abstract:: Spectral analysis was used to investigate semidaily mean sea levels and atmospheric pressures at San Francisco, California, Coos Bay, Oregon, and Tofino, British Columbia, in the frequency band 0 to 0.5 cpd. Cross spectral analysis of semidaily mean sea levels and atmospheric pressures at the three stations show that the...

The effects of an isolated mesoscale island on a stably-stratified airstream

Creator:: Kim, Jinwon
Abstract:: The perturbation of a stably-stratified flow by irregular terrain is studied utilizing a seven-layer, hydrostatic, and potential enstrophy and energy conserving primitive equation model. The Island of Oahu, Hawaii, and the surrounding ocean area of 130 km x 100 km is chosen as the model topography. The domain is covered...

A comparison of eddy correlation and dissipation techniques for computing the fluxes of momentum, heat and moisture in the marine boundary layer

Creator:: Paquin, James Edward
Abstract:: The results of measurements of the fluxes of momentum, moisture and sensible heat in the marine boundary layer are described. Two techniques for obtaining the fluxes are discussed. The fluxes of these quantities are most directly obtained by the eddy correlation method, that is, by measuring the fluctuating vertical and...

Applications of maritime data to the study of surface forcing of seasonal and interannual ocean variability in eastern boundary regions

Creator:: Bakun, Andrew
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: indices of sea surface wind stress, wind stress curl, wind-mixing intensity, and ocean-atmosphere heat

Effects of mesoscale atmospheric convective cells on the waters of the East China sea

Creator:: Trump, Clifford Lyons
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: ocean to the atmosphere. A variety of techniques have been used to estimate these fluxes and

The fluxes of latent and sensible heat in the marine boundary layer

Creator:: Phelps, George Thomas
Abstract:: Measurements of the fluctuations of humidity, temperature and velocity were made in the marine boundary layer. The humidity fluctuations were measured with a Lyman-alpha humidiometer. Temperature fluctuations were measured with a dry thermocouple and a platinum resistance thermometer. Velocity fluctuations were measured with a three component sonic anemometer. These measurements...

Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Numerical studies of mesoscale eddies using quasigeostrophic and primitive equation ocean models

Creator:: Batteen, Mary L.
Abstract:: The dynamical role of mesoscale eddies in the ocean general circulation is investigated using eddy-resolving quasigeostrophic (QG) and primitive equation (FE) models which are parametrically identical. The results of both QG and FE numerical experiments in mid-latitude, rectangular ocean basins are systematically intercompared and extensively analyzed in terms of basic...

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...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: Within the ocean and atmosphere, frictional effects due to turbulence tend to be strong near boundaries
