Double-Diffusive Convection
(WHOI, 2008)
Even in systems with a negative vertical density gradient, instability is possible if the density is controlled by two components (e.g. temperature T and salinity S) that diffuse at different rates [24]. In the oceans, ...
Environmental effects on underwater optical transmission
(2018)
Optical communication/detection systems have potential to get around some limitations of current acoustic communications and detection systems especially increased fleet and port security in noisy littoral waters. ...
Effect of inter- and intra-annual thermohaline variability on acoustic propagation
(2017)
This paper is to answer the question “How can inter- and intra-annual variability in the ocean be leveraged by the submarine Force?” through quantifying inter- and intra-annual variability in (T, S) fields and in turn ...
An oceanic mixed layer model capable of simulating cyclic states
(American Metorological Society, 1976-09-24)
A new one-dimensional bulk model of the mixed layer of the upper ocean is presented . An entrainment
hypothesis dependent upon the relative distribution of turbulent energy between horizontal and vertical
components is ...
Thermohaline layering in dynamically and diffusively stable shear flows
(San Diego, California. University of California, San Diego, 2016)
In this study we examine two-component shear flows that are stable with respect to Kelvin-Helmholtz and to double-diffusive instabilities individually. Our focus is on the diffusively stratified ocean regions, where ...
Comparison of elastic-viscous-plastic and viscous-plastic dynamics models using a high resolution Arctic sea ice model
(Los Alamos, New Mexico. Los Alamos National Laboratory, 1997-11)
A nonlinear viscous-plastic (VP) rheology proposed by Hibler (1979) has been demonstrated to be the
most suitable of the rheologies commonly used for modeling sea ice dynamics (Kreyscher et al., 1997).
However, the ...
Monterey Bay ambient noise profiles using underwater gliders
(Acoustical Society of America through the American Institute of Physics, 2013-06-02)
In 2012, during two separate week-long deployments, underwater gliders outfitted with external hydrophones profiled the upper 100-200 m of
the Monterey Bay. The environment contained various noises made by marine mammals, ...
Detection of Suspended Sediment Effect on Sidescan Sonar Imagery Using the Navy’s CASS-GRAB Model
(2005)
Sidescan sonar detects objects buried in the seafloor through generating images of ordnance such as sea mine buried in sediments. The sonar operates by illuminating a broad swath of the seabed using a line array of acoustic ...
