Book excerpt: The long-terms goals of the research are to understand and parameterize the physics of air-sea interaction, and in particular wind-wave interaction. The effort is primarily experimental, based on measurements over the sea under a variety of wind-wave conditions. Seven gigabytes of data were obtained from the Marine Boundary Layers experiment from the Research Platform FLIP. Other related experiments utilize research aircraft to probe the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL).

This book was released on 1996 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The data sampling and analysis techniques associated with research under this AASERT grant will aid in better estimates of fluxes from observations, a requirement for model verification. The new analysis techniques allow decomposition of the flow into localized modes which are more natural to boundary layer problems compared to the usual Fourier decomposition. The analysis techniques are applicable to observational data sets as well as numerical output. The usual assumption of alignment of the surface stress and surface wind vector was reexamined. This assumption appears to break down with significant temperature advection. This problem was examined in terms of tower data collected in the coastal zone by the Risoe National Laboratory (Denmark). The usual formulation of the surface heat flux in models is inconsistent in that the aerodynamic temperature required for Monin-Okukhov similarity theory is replaced by the surface radiation temperature. The aerodynamic temperature is not readily available and numerous empirical fixes have been suggested to dose the system. The approach here documents these problems by relating the evaporative fraction to remotely sensed information using data from the Boreal Ecosystem-Atmosphere Study and the California Ozone Deposition Experiment.

This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 762 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals primarily with monitoring, prediction and understanding of Tropical Cyclones (TCs). It was envisioned to serve as a teaching and reference resource at universities and academic institutions for researchers and post-graduate students. It has been designed to provide a broad outlook on recent advances in observations, assimilation and modeling of TCs with detailed and advanced information on genesis, intensification, movement and storm surge prediction. Specifically, it focuses on (i) state-of-the-art observations for advancing TC research, (ii) advances in numerical weather prediction for TCs, (iii) advanced assimilation and vortex initialization techniques, (iv) ocean coupling, (v) current capabilities to predict TCs, and (vi) advanced research in physical and dynamical processes in TCs. The chapters in the book are authored by leading international experts from academic, research and operational environments. The book is also expected to stimulate critical thinking for cyclone forecasters and researchers, managers, policy makers, and graduate and post-graduate students to carry out future research in the field of TCs.

Book excerpt: This study analyzed observational data from field programs in the Persian Gulf and off the coast of California; characterizing the spatial variability of marine atmospheric BL structure in the coastal environment, and the processes that control that structure. Significant results concern the scaling of turbulence under stable conditions - a commonly quoted form for the temperature scale is shown to be formally invalid. The spatial variability of radar propagation conditions over near-coastal waters has been shown to be significant, and the errors in propagation assessment resulting from a failure to account for this variability shown to be unacceptably large. The boundary-layer flow along the coasts of Oregon and northern California during summer are shown to be close to critical over very wide areas, and supercritical over significant regions around every major headland along the coast. The spatial variability of wind stress its curt is found to be large along the coast; the tatter is closely tied to sea surface temperature distributions through its modulation of cold upwelling. Stable conditions were widespread and persistent over the cold coastal waters; significant discrepancies between measured and parametrized fluxes were observed within the stable regions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data Analysis Methods in Physical Oceanography is a practical referenceguide to established and modern data analysis techniques in earth and oceansciences. This second and revised edition is even more comprehensive with numerous updates, and an additional appendix on 'Convolution and Fourier transforms'. Intended for both students and established scientists, the fivemajor chapters of the book cover data acquisition and recording, dataprocessing and presentation, statistical methods and error handling,analysis of spatial data fields, and time series analysis methods. Chapter 5on time series analysis is a book in itself, spanning a wide diversity oftopics from stochastic processes and stationarity, coherence functions,Fourier analysis, tidal harmonic analysis, spectral and cross-spectralanalysis, wavelet and other related methods for processing nonstationarydata series, digital filters, and fractals. The seven appendices includeunit conversions, approximation methods and nondimensional numbers used ingeophysical fluid dynamics, presentations on convolution, statisticalterminology, and distribution functions, and a number of importantstatistical tables. Twenty pages are devoted to references. Featuring:• An in-depth presentation of modern techniques for the analysis of temporal and spatial data sets collected in oceanography, geophysics, and other disciplines in earth and ocean sciences.• A detailed overview of oceanographic instrumentation and sensors - old and new - used to collect oceanographic data.• 7 appendices especially applicable to earth and ocean sciences ranging from conversion of units, through statistical tables, to terminology and non-dimensional parameters. In praise of the first edition: "(...)This is a very practical guide to the various statistical analysis methods used for obtaining information from geophysical data, with particular reference to oceanography(...)The book provides both a text for advanced students of the geophysical sciences and a useful reference volume for researchers." Aslib Book Guide Vol 63, No. 9, 1998 "(...)This is an excellent book that I recommend highly and will definitely use for my own research and teaching." EOS Transactions, D.A. Jay, 1999 "(...)In summary, this book is the most comprehensive and practical source of information on data analysis methods available to the physical oceanographer. The reader gets the benefit of extremely broad coverage and an excellent set of examples drawn from geographical observations." Oceanography, Vol. 12, No. 3, A. Plueddemann, 1999 "(...)Data Analysis Methods in Physical Oceanography is highly recommended for a wide range of readers, from the relative novice to the experienced researcher. It would be appropriate for academic and special libraries." E-Streams, Vol. 2, No. 8, P. Mofjelf, August 1999
