The oceanic mixed layer is a region of intense mixing, where turbulence homogenizes vertical temperature and salinity distributions down to depths of O(100) m. Below the mixed layer, in the upper layers of the stratified thermocline, ...
Ocean transport of heat is a substantial component of the climate system but its characteristics and dynamic causes are still somewhat unknown. Prior research has shown that global observations from the ocean and atmosphere indicate that...
Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) are an important measure of our current weather and climate, as well as an essential variable in both short and long term weather forecasting. Infrared SST retrievals are reliant on passive sensors, and...
A method for determining the diurnal sea surface temperature (SST) cycle through satellite data has previously been developed by Clayson and Curry (1996). In their work they applied a parameterized equation from Webster et al. (1996)...
ABSTRACT This work presents turbulence data collected in the Gulf of Mexico in an attempt to quantify the source or sources of turbulent dissipation along the continental shelf and any possible causes for its seasonal change. In addition...
The Gulf of Mexico is among the most populated of coastlines threatened by tropical cyclones and has experienced some of the most destructive hurricanes in history. The importance of the warm ocean waters of the Gulf in providing optimal...
A major theme of recent research is the investigation of the nature of climate variability and the current capability to measure, model, and predict it. This is a formidable task that involves understanding complex interactions and...
The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is a coupled air-sea interaction that dominates intraseasonal variability in the tropical oceans. This mode of variability is especially important in the tropical western Pacific Ocean warm pool...
Changes in the amount of dissolved oxygen concentration in the Sea of Japan (SOJ) over a number of years have been hypothesized to be due to the amount and depth of deep convection in this region. The first observations of the changes in...
