Several acoustic Doppler current profilers and vertical strings of temperature, conductivity, and pressure sensors, deployed on and around the East Flower Garden Bank (EFGB), were used to examine surface wave effects on high-frequency flows over the bank and to quantify spatial and temporal characteristic of these high-frequency flows. The EFGB,...
Evaluating the success or failure of work force training programs is most often accomplished through the reporting of "objective" data. Rarely are the students' views of their own success in such a training program formally solicited or applied in any useful way. But participant perceptions can be a critical barometer...
The primary purpose of this research was to compare posttest scores
for changes in depression and self-esteem in spouses of stroke patients
with aphasia who received group counseling with those who did not receive
group counseling. Depression was measured by the Depressive Adjective
Checklist (A-D) and self-esteem by the Tennessee...
Summertime low clouds are common in the Pacific Northwest (PNW), but spatiotemporal patterns have not been characterized. We show the first maps of low cloudiness for the western PNW and North Pacific Ocean using a 22‐year satellite‐derived record of monthly mean low cloudiness frequency for May through September and supplemented...
Biomass burning is a significant contributor to atmospheric carbon emissions but may also provide an avenue in which fire-affected ecosystems can accumulate carbon over time, through the generation of highly resistant fire-altered carbon. Identifying how fuel moisture, and subsequent changes in the fire behavior, relates to the production of fire-altered...
An analytical model of subtropical mode water is presented, based on ventilated thermocline
theory and on numerical solutions of a planetary geostrophic basin model. In ventilated
thermocline theory, the western pool is a region bounded on the east by subsurface
streamlines that outcrop at the western edge of the interior,...
