Mesoscale Motions in Oceanic Stratus as Revealed by Satellite Data
Over maritime areas, meteorological satellite data generally havc been used only in the study of synoptic scalc systems. Howcvcr, TIROS 7 pictures of summcrtimc stratus ovcr thc northcrn Pacific, whcn rcctified and combiiicd with mesosealc radiation analyses, give valuablc clucs regarding the mcsoscalc dynamics of thc lower atmosphcrc. Radiation data distinguish stratus from middlc lcvcl cloud ...
متن کاملOceanic mass transport by mesoscale eddies.
Oceanic transports of heat, salt, fresh water, dissolved CO2, and other tracers regulate global climate change and the distribution of natural marine resources. The time-mean ocean circulation transports fluid as a conveyor belt, but fluid parcels can also be trapped and transported discretely by migrating mesoscale eddies. By combining available satellite altimetry and Argo profiling float dat...
متن کاملMarine GIS: Identification of mesoscale oceanic thermal fronts
A new method (the ‘sink’ method) is proposed for the mapping of productive mesoscale oceanic thermal fronts based on the combined analysis of satellite imagery for sea surface temperature (SST) distribution and chlorophyll (CHL) concentration under a Geographic Information System (GIS). In an SST lattice data array, data value sinks describe heterogeneous drops in SST distribution as this is co...
متن کاملTechnical Note: Watershed strategy for oceanic mesoscale eddy splitting
To identify oceanic mononuclear mesoscale eddies, a threshold-free splitting method was developed based on the watershed. Because oceanic eddies are similar to plateaus and basins in the map of the sea level anomaly (SLA) data, the natural divisions of the basins are the watersheds between them. The splitting algorithm is based on identifying these watersheds by finding the path of steepest des...
