On the Flow Through Bering Strait: A Synthesis of Model Results and Observations
(2014)
Bering Strait is the only ocean connection between the Pacific and the Arctic. The flow through this narrow and shallow strait links the Pacific and Arctic oceans and impacts oceanic conditions downstream in the Chukchi ...
Dynamic and Double-Diffusive Instabilities in a Weak Pycnocline. Part II: Direct Numerical Simulations and Flux Laws
(2014)
This study examines the interaction of diffusive convection and shear through a series of 2D and 3D direct numerical simulations (DNS). The model employed is based on the Boussinesq equations of motion with oscillating ...
Dynamic and Double-Diffusive Instabilities in a Weak Pycnocline. Part I: Observations of Heat Flux and Diffusivity in the Vicinity of Maud Rise, Weddell Sea
(American Meteorological Society, 2014-08)
An expedition to study the stability of the weakly stratified water column in the eastern Weddell Sea was undertaken in the austral winter of 2005. A regional CTD survey around Maud Rise delineated water mass boundaries ...
Fuel-saving ship route using the Navy's ensemble meteorological and oceanic forecasts
(SAGE, 2014-12)
Fuel conservation and carbon reduction are important issues in current naval operations. Optimal ship route (i.e. minimum fuel consumption) depends on specific ship platform characteristics and near real-time environment ...
Geostrophic Circulation in the Tropical North Pacific Ocean Based on Argo Profiles
(American Meteorological Society, 2014)
Absolute geostrophic currents in the North Pacific Ocean are calculated from the newly gridded Argo
profiling float data using the P-vector method for the period of 2004–11. The zonal geostrophic currents based
on the ...
Implementation of 3D Underwater Bomb Trajectory Model (STRIKE35) into Technical Decision Aid
(2014)
Implementation of STRIKE35 into tactical decision aid through the expert system for operational use.
Glider‐Measured Underwater Bioluminescence for Submarine Minefield Navigation
(2014)
Bioluminescence emitted from marine organisms upon mechanical stimulation provides a new approach to identify mines or mine‐like obstacles for submarine minefield navigation.
Upwelling rebound, ephemeral secondary pycnoclines, and the creation of a near-bottom wave guide over the Monterey Bay continental shelf
(AGU Publications, 2014)
Several sequential upwelling events were observed in fall 2012, using measurements from
the outer half of the continental shelf in Monterey Bay, during which the infiltration of dense water onto
the shelf created a ...
Accuracy progressive calculation of Lagrangian trajectories from gridded velocity field
(American Meteorological Society, 2014)
Reduction of computational error is a key issue in computing Lagrangian trajectories 12 using gridded
velocities. Computational accuracy enhances from using the first term (constant 13 velocity scheme), the
first two ...
Observed near-surface currents under four super typhoons
(Elsevier, 2014)
The upper ocean currents under four category-5 (super) typhoons [Chaba (2004), Maon (2004), Saomai (2006), and Jangmi (2008)] were studied using data from four drifters of the Surface Velocity Program (SVP) (Niiler, 2001) ...
