Sea surface currents are often modeled using numerical models without adequately addressing the issue of model calibration at regional scale. The aim this study is to calibrate MIKE 21 ocean for Persian Gulf and Oman improve sea obtained from model. was performed through data assimilation with altimetry hydrographic observations variational assimilation, where weights objective functions were d...

[1] Sea surface brightness anomalies caused by a municipal wastewater discharge are detected from space in areas much larger than their submerged turbulence source. The mechanism involves a complex interaction between currents, topography, tides, vertical and horizontal mixing, internal waves and stratified turbulence. Citation: Keeler, R. N., V. G.

In early May of 1998 we saw the sea surface temperature signature of one of the strongest El Niños on record decay within a span of several weeks. At 125W the SST dropped over 5 oC in 17 days. What caused this abrupt end to the 1997-1998 El Niño? It is my goal to attempt to answer this question, at least in part, through the investigation of TAO mooring data including wind velocity, ocean SST, ...

An ocean general circulation model (OGCM) with wetting and drying (WAD) capabilities removes the vertical-wall coastal assumption and allows simultaneous modeling of open-ocean currents and water run-up (and run-down) across movable land–sea boundaries. This paper implements and tests such a WAD scheme for the Princeton Ocean Model (POM) in its most general three-dimensional setting with strati...

This work describes the design, implementation and validation of Black Sea physics analysis forecasting system, developed by Physics production unit within Monitoring Forecasting Center as part Copernicus Marine Environment Service. The system provides analyses forecasts temperature, salinity, sea surface height, mixed layer depth currents for whole basin, excluding Azov Sea, has been operation...

Voltage-gated sodium channels are critical determinants of nerve and muscle excitability. Although numerous toxins and small molecules target sodium channels, identifying the mechanisms of action is challenging. Here we used gating-pore currents selectively generated in each of the voltage-sensors from the four a-subunit domains (DI–DIV) to monitor the activity of individual voltage-sensors and...

This paper uses a novel approach to investigate the effect of wave-current interactions on wave loads vertical surface piercing cylinder in representative current and conditions North Sea wind farms. We used an iterative method experiments ensure same nominal sea states at location installed different for each state. While earlier studies have focused crest statistics, we here look force statis...

The knowledge about mesoscale and sub-mesoscale sea surface current fields is of high interdisciplinary interest, since it results in a better understanding of ocean-atmosphere interactions. However, many available numerical model results are of resolutions, which are too coarse to investigate mesoscale and sub-mesoscale turbulent features like eddies, particularly in coastal waters. In this wo...
