A pilot data analysis of sea surface temperatures and wind speeds measured on Oceanic Weather Ship PAPA - A Summary
pilotdataanalysi00jaco.pdf (1.499Mb)Abstract
This note describes the results of an exploratory data-analytic study of sea surface temperatures and wind speeds measured on Oceanic Weather Ship PAPA. Spectral analysis indicates that sea surface temperatures and wind speeds have seasonal effects. Detrended sea surface temperatures and wind speeds exhibit the following association. Positive changes between days t and t-1 in the inverse residual sea surface temperature are associated with large residual wind speeds on day t and large residual sea surface temperatures on day t-1. This association can be explained by the behavior of the oceanic mixed layer depth

Hydrography, nutrients and chlorophyll during El Niño and La Niña 1997-99 winters in the Gulf of the Farallones, California
(2002);Nutrient and chlorophyll concentrations were measured in January 1997, 1998 and 1999 in the Gulf of the Farallones, CA at locations stretching north/south from Point Reyes to Half Moon Bay, and seaward from the Golden Gate ... -
Experiments with a simple hurricane-interacting ocean model
(Monterey, California; Naval Postgraduate School, 1971-09);The equation developed by Riehl (1963) for a steady, symmetrical hurricane are used to specify a vortex over a fixed depth boundary layer, which interacts with a simple ocean model. Only vertical mixing in the surface ... -
A quasi-empirical model of the hurricane boundary layer
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1974-01-31); NPS-5lEs7401lASolutions have been obtained for the temperature and moisture distributions within the atmospheric boundary layer of an axisymmetric hurricane model. The intensity of the hurricane is related to the equivalent potential ...
