Long-term Variability of Ocean Surface Winds
Just a few decades ago, almost all ocean wind measurements came from merchant ships. However, the quality and geographical distribution of these wind reports were uneven. The quality of historical wind-stress have been well investigated [e.g., Cardone et al., 1990; Trenberth, et al, 1990; Kent et al., 1999]. Today, operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) also gives us wind information, b...
متن کاملThe Sar Measurement of Ocean Surface Winds : an Overview
This paper represents a consensus on the state-of-theart in wind field retrievals using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) as it emerged during the 2nd Workshop on Coastal andMarine Applications of SAR in Longyearbyen, Spitsbergen, Norway, held on 8–12 September 2003. This work is the result of the efforts of many co-authors. The length of the author list a compels us to include it as a footnote,1 ...
متن کاملStochastic Analysis of Southern and Pacific Ocean Sea Surface Winds
This paper shows that the synoptic variability of zonal and meridional midlatitude Pacific and Southern Ocean sea surface winds can be well described by a univariate stochastic dynamical system directly derived from data. The method used to analyze blended Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT)–NCEP winds is a general method to estimate drift and diffusion coefficients of a continuous stationary Markov...
متن کاملOcean Surface Winds Drive Dynamics of Transoceanic Aerial Movements
Global wind patterns influence dispersal and migration processes of aerial organisms, propagules and particles, which ultimately could determine the dynamics of colonizations, invasions or spread of pathogens. However, studying how wind-mediated movements actually happen has been hampered so far by the lack of high resolution global wind data as well as the impossibility to track aerial movemen...
متن کاملImpact of Breaking Wave Form Drag on Near-Surface Turbulence and Drag Coefficient over Young Seas at High Winds
The effects of breaking waves on near-surface wind turbulence and drag coefficient are investigated using large-eddy simulation. The impact of intermittent and transient wave breaking events (over a range of scales) is modeled as localized form drag, which generates airflow separation bubbles downstream. The simulations are performed for very young sea conditions under high winds, comparable to...
