  1. Vertical Structure of Propagating Features

    Mujahid, AazaniUniversity of Southampton2010

    … central in the observations of the strength and structure of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Interest in this work began when some recent work estimated the inter-annual fluctuations of the AMOC at 26.5 ?N to be<br/>up to 3 Sv, and with a 25% reduction in strength over the …

  2. THE VERTICAL STRUCTURE OF ESTUARINE TIDAL CURRENTS

    REICHARD, RONNAL PAUL

    <p>The surface slope induced pressure gradient, mean current velocity profile, and bottom stress are investigated both theoretically and experimentally for a tidal channel in a well-mixed estuary. The theory focuses on the use of eddy viscosity models. Surface slope estimates based on tide …

  3. The vertical structure of the wind-driven circulation

    Young, William R.Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution1981

    … mechanisms which determine the three dimensional structure of the currents in the Sverdrup interior of a wind-driven gyre are discussed. A variety of simple analytic models suggest that the subsurface geostrophic contours in a wind gyre are closed and so the flow in these regions is not determined …

  6. Vertical Structure And Surface Interactions Of Nitrous Acid Using A 1D Model

    Ebrahimi-Iranpour, Yashar2025

    This study was undertaken in order to study the vertical distribution and surface interactions of gas-phase HONO under non-ideal mixing conditions during the 2011 NACHTT campaign using the Platform for Atmospheric Chemistry and vertical Transport in One Dimension (PACT-1D) model. This work builds …

  7. The vertical structure of stratospheric planetary waves and its variability : theory and observations

    Harnik, Nili, 1969-Massachusetts Institute of Technology2000

    Observations of the vertical structure of stratospheric planetary waves reveal a large variety of structures, and a variability both on seasonal and on daily time scales. The extent to which linear wave theory explains these structures and their time evolution at a given time or season is not well …

The two key points to the success of the analysis are: 1)the well-defined relationship between temperature and cross-stream distance in the thermocline, enabling the use of the former as a horizontal coordinate; and …

  10. Temporal variability and vertical structure in larval abundance : the potential roles of biological and physical processes

    Garland, Elizabeth D.Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution2000

    … Within a particular water mass, group-specific vertical patterns were observed over both long and short time scales. "Low frequency" temporal variations resulted primarily from wind-driven cross-shelf transport of water masses in which larvae were differentially distributed relative to the …

    Werner, Sandra R.Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution1996

    The bottom boundary layer structure on the southern flank of Georges Bank was investigated for the period February 19 to March 20, 1995. During this time, vertical stratification was weak and the near bottom waters were almost homogeneous. Georges Bank is a region of strong tidal currents, with the …

    Stine, Alexander, 1973-Massachusetts Institute of Technology2003

    We estimate the vertical structure of tidal frequency energy at various locations in the ocean by decomposing current records from the WHOI moored buoy archive. Estimates are made of the barotropic and baroclinic modes 1-4 for multiple locations, primarily in the North Atlantic and North Pacific. …
