Download or read book Introductory Dynamical Oceanography written by Stephen Pond and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Introductory Dynamical Oceanography' 2nd ed provides an introduction to Dynamical Physical Oceanography at a level suitable for senior year undergraduate students in the sciences and for graduate students entering oceanography. It aims to present the basic objectives, procedures and successes and to state some of the present limitations of dynamical oceanography and its relations to descriptive physical oceanography. The first edition has been thoroughly revised and updated and the new work includes reference to the Practical Salinity Scale 1978, the International Equation of State 1980 and the beta-spiral technique for calculating absolute currents from the density distribution. In addition the description of mixed-layer models has been updated and the chapters on Waves and on Tides have been substantially revised and enlarged, with emphasis on internal waves in the Waves chapter. While the text is self-contained readers are recommended to acquaint themselves with the general aspects of descriptive (synoptic) oceanography in order to be aware of the character of the ocean which the dynamical oceanographer is attempting to explain by referring to Pickard and Emery's 'Descriptive Physical Oceanography' 4th edition.

Download or read book Heat Absorption and Heat Budget at Ocean Station Echo September 1959 written by Edward L. Corton and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 2 and 21 September 1959, approximately 900 bathythermograph observations (BT's) were obtained at Ocean Weather Station ECHO (35 deg N, 48 deg W). In addition, incoming radiation from sun and sky and reflected radiation from the sea surface were recorded. By grouping the BT data according to cloud amount, mean hourly temperatures were obtained. Estimates of heat absorption, evaporation and changes in horizontal heat content (advection) for clear, partly cloudy, and cloudy skies were derived from these mean temperatures. The ocean was assumed to be neither gaining nor losing heat during this season of the year. For clear skies, evaporative heat loss exceeded long wave (back radiation) heat loss; for cloudy skies, condensation resulted in a net gain of heat. Hourly mean temperatures and temperature gradients are presented. Surface temperature was changed about 0.1 deg F by evaporative heat flux and a comparable amount by horizontal heat flux. (Author).

Download or read book Response of the Upper Ocean to Hurricane Eloise written by Laurence Victor Friese and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buoy data provided clear evidence of mixed layer deepening and an internal wave caused by Hurricane Eloise, September 1975. Logarithmic temperature profiles below an isothermal mixed layer were assumed and used to model thermocline oscillation and heat budget calculation as influenced by Eloise over a 21-day period. Results show that prior to the arrival of Eloise at the buoy, the average mixed layer depth was about 33m. As the winds increased due to hurricane approach, the mixed layer deepened steadily to about 42m before upwelling to approximately 22m. The thermocline then underwent three distinctly large oscillations of inertial periodicity, while the mixed layer continued to deepen. The post-storm average mixed layer depth was about 52m. Values of mixed layer depth were concluded to be accurate to within 2m. Vertical velocities, calculated first by assuming zero horizontal temperature advection in the material derivative equation and second by finding the mass transport necessary to balance the heat budget, show that in the upper 500m of the water column downward vertical motion of 1m/hr or less prevailed during storm approach, followed by upward vertical velocity as great as 5.35m/hr during the 12 hr immediately following hurricane passage followed by downward vertical velocity during the large thermocline oscillations.

Download or read book Ocean Modeling in an Eddying Regime written by Matthew W. Hecht and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 177. This monograph is the first to survey progress in realistic simulation in a strongly eddying regime made possible by recent increases in computational capability. Its contributors comprise the leading researchers in this important and constantly evolving field. Divided into three parts Oceanographic Processes and Regimes: Fundamental Questions Ocean Dynamics and State: From Regional to Global Scale, and Modeling at the Mesoscale: State of the Art and Future Directions The volume details important advances in physical oceanography based on eddy resolving ocean modeling. It captures the state of the art and discusses issues that ocean modelers must consider in order to effectively contribute to advancing current knowledge, from subtleties of the underlying fluid dynamical equations to meaningful comparison with oceanographic observations and leading-edge model development. It summarizes many of the important results which have emerged from ocean modeling in an eddying regime, for those interested broadly in the physical science. More technical topics are intended to address the concerns of those actively working in the field.
Download or read book Advection and Diffusion in Random Media written by Leonid Piterbarg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book originated from our interest in sea surface temperature variability. Our initial, though entirely pragmatic, goal was to derive adequate mathemat ical tools for handling certain oceanographic problems. Eventually, however, these considerations went far beyond oceanographic applications partly because one of the authors is a mathematician. We found that many theoretical issues of turbulent transport problems had been repeatedly discussed in fields of hy drodynamics, plasma and solid matter physics, and mathematics itself. There are few monographs concerned with turbulent diffusion in the ocean (Csanady 1973, Okubo 1980, Monin and Ozmidov 1988). While selecting material for this book we focused, first, on theoretical issues that could be helpful for understanding mixture processes in the ocean, and, sec ond, on our own contribution to the problem. Mathematically all of the issues addressed in this book are concentrated around a single linear equation: the stochastic advection-diffusion equation. There is no attempt to derive universal statistics for turbulent flow. Instead, the focus is on a statistical description of a passive scalar (tracer) under given velocity statistics. As for applications, this book addresses only one phenomenon: transport of sea surface temperature anomalies. Hopefully, however, our two main approaches are applicable to other subjects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preface This book is the culmination of a workshop jointly organized by NATO and CEC on Climate-Ocean Interaction which was held at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford University during 26-30 September 1988. The objective of the ARW was to assess the current status of research on climate-ocean interaction, with a major focus on the development of coupled atmosphere-ocean-ice models and their application in the study of past, present and possible future climates. This book contains 16 chapters divided into four parts: Introduction; Observations of the Climate of the Ocean; Modelling the Atmospheric, Oceanic and Sea Ice Components of the Climatic System; and Simulating the Variability of Climate on Short, Medium and Long Time Scales. A fifth part contains the reports of the five Working Groups on: Climate Observations, Modelling, ENSO Modelling and Prediction, Climate-Ocean Interaction on TIme Scales of Decades to Centuries, and Impact of Paleoclimatic Proxy Data on Climate Modelling. Preface ix Acknowledgements I thank Howard Cattle and Neil Wells for their guidance and assistance as members of the Workshop Organizing Committee. I particularly thank Michael Davey for all his efforts as Local Organizer to make the ARW a success. I also thank the staff of Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford University, for their help with the arrangements for the ARW.
