Oceanic wave-balanced surface fronts and filaments
A geostrophic, hydrostatic, frontal or filamentary flow adjusts conservatively to accommodate a surface gravity wave field with wave-averaged, Stokes-drift vortex and Coriolis forces in an altered balanced state. In this altered state, the wave-balanced perturbations have an opposite cross-front symmetry to the original geostrophic state; e.g. the along-front flow perturbation is odd-symmetric ...
متن کاملFeature-oriented regional modeling of oceanic fronts
This paper outlines some important aspects of modeling oceanic fronts in the context of featureoriented regional modeling for the deep sea and the Global Coastal Ocean. Previously developed forms of feature models for different types of fronts are presented in a generalized approach. The large-scale meandering frontal systems such as the Gulf Stream, Kuroshio and Brazil current can be represent...
متن کاملSatellite remote sensing of surface oceanic fronts in coastal waters off west–central Florida
Article history: Received 4 October 2007 Received in revised form 4 February 2008 Accepted 9 February 2008 Two algorithms designed to detect deepwater oceanic features and arbitrary edge profiles were tuned to automatically delineate fronts in coastal waters off west–central Florida using satellite-derived sea surface temperature (SST), chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl), normalized water-leavin...
متن کاملOn the response of the oceanic wind-driven circulation to atmospheric CO2 increase
A global, flux-corrected climate model is employed to predict the surface wind stress and associated wind-driven oceanic circulation for climate states corresponding to a doubling and quadrupling of the atmospheric CO2 concentration in a simple 1% per year CO2 increase scenario. The model indicates that in response to CO2 increase, the position of zero wind stress curl in the mid-latitudes of t...
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...
