Seismic characteristics of sediment drifts: An example from the Agulhas Plateau, southwest Indian Ocean [PDF]

, 2001
Sediment drifts provide information on the palaeoceanographic development of a region. Additionally, they may represent hydrocarbon reservoirs. Because of this, sediment drift investigation has increased over the last few years. Nevertheless, a number of

Visit to An Ocean Planet: Salinity and Deep Ocean Currents [PDF]

This resource uses text, images, maps and a laboratory exercise to explain how differences in the temperature and salinity of ocean water cause the formation of deep-ocean currents.

Observations of the Vertical Structure of Tidal Currents in Two Inlets [PDF]

, 2013
Observations of the vertical structure of broad band tidal currents were obtained at two energetic inlets. Each experiment took place over a 4 week period, the first at Hampton Inlet in southeastern New Hampshire, USA, in the Fall of 2011, and the second

Stochastic sea state for SRB studies [PDF]

Ocean surface characteristics at two locations were studied for a space shuttle solid rocket booster ocean impact and recovery analysis. Probability distributions of wave heights, wave slopes, wave velocities, ocean currents, and 1-kilometer altitude ...

Improved Surface Currents from Altimeter-Derived and Sea Surface Temperature Observations: Application to the North Atlantic Ocean

Remote Sensing
We present a study on the ocean surface currents reconstruction by merging Level-4 (L4, gap-free) altimeter-derived geostrophic currents and satellite sea surface temperature.

Simulation of Ocean Responses to an Idealized Landfalling Tropical Cyclone Using a Coupled Atmosphere-Wave-Ocean Modeling System

Tropical Cyclone Research and Review, 2012
: Oceanic responses to a hypothetical landfalling tropical cyclone (TC) are studied by using a coupled atmosphere-wave-ocean modeling system (CAWOMS). A set of experiments are conducted to compare the effects of atmosphere-wave-ocean interaction on ocean

Study of the Brazil and Falkland currents using their images of Nimbus 5 and oceanographic data in 1972 - 1973 [PDF]

The Western Edge of the Sub-tropical Convergence of the South-western Atlantic Ocean, called the Front, which is a thermal discontinuity between the Brazil and Falkland Currents, was studied utilizing the Temperature Humidity Infrared Radiometer (THIR ...

Improving Coastal Circulation Using HF‐Radar Surface Currents

Earth and Space Science
In an attempt to improve the model‐derived coastal circulation around India, we explore three different frameworks to assimilate surface currents from HF‐Radars into an ocean model for the Indian Ocean.
