Sensitivity of Coastal Currents near Point Conception to Forcing by Three Different Winds: ECMWF, COAMPS, and Blended SSM/I–ECMWF–Buoy Winds
Previous observational and modeling studies have indicated the importance of finescale winds in determining the circulation near Point Conception in the Santa Maria Basin (SMB) and the Santa Barbara Channel (SBC), California. There has not been a systematic attempt, however, to analyze and quantify the sensitivity of the near-surface circulation to different wind data. Here, a regional circulat...
متن کاملGalactic Winds: Near and Far
Multiwavelength data on star-forming galaxies provide strong evidence for large-scale galactic winds in both nearby and distant objects. The results from recent ground-based and space-borne programs are reviewed. The impact of these winds on the host galaxies and the surrounding environment is discussed in the context of galaxy evolution.
متن کاملDynamics of Winds and Currents Coupled to Surface Waves
We discuss the coupling processes between surface gravity waves and adjacent winds and currents in turbulent boundary layers. These processes mediate exchanges of momentum, heat, and gases between the atmosphere and ocean and thus are of global significance for climate. Surface waves grow primarily by pressure-form stress from airflow over the waveforms, and they dissipate in the open sea by wa...
متن کاملMicrowave Measurements of Winds, Waves, and Currents in the Global and Coastal Ocean
APPROACH Our approach has been multifaceted. First, we have been utilizing data collected during the SAXON-FPN experiment to extract as much information as possible about microwave scattering from the sea surface and about the imaging of the sea surface by synthetic aperture radars (SAR). Second, we have adapted new techniques for obtaining wind, wave, and current information at sea, which we d...
متن کاملFlow Near Submarine Canyons Driven by Constant Winds
Circulation over coastal submarine canyons driven by constant upwelling or downwelling wind stress is simulated and analyzed with a primitive equation ocean model. Astoria Canyon, on the west coast of North America, is the focus of this study, and model results are consistent with most major features of mean canyon circulation observed in Astoria Canyon. Near-surface flow crosses over the canyo...
