Calculation of wind-driven surface currents in the North Atlantic Ocean [PDF]

open access: yes
Calculations to simulate the wind driven near surface currents of the North Atlantic Ocean are described. The primitive equations were integrated on a finite difference grid with a horizontal resolution of 2.5 deg in longitude and latitude.

Assessing the potential impact of assimilating total surface current velocities in the Met Office’s global ocean forecasting system

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Accurate prediction of ocean surface currents is important for marine safety, ship routing, tracking of pollutants and in coupled forecasting. Presently, velocity observations are not routinely assimilated in global ocean forecasting systems, largely due

On the response to ocean surface currents in synthetic aperture radar imagery [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
The balance of wave action spectral density for a fixed wave-number is expressed in terms of a new dimensionless function, the degree of saturation, b, and is applied to an analysis of the variations of this quantity (and local spectral level) at wave ...

The backbone of the climate network

open access: yes, 2009
We propose a method to reconstruct and analyze a complex network from data generated by a spatio-temporal dynamical system, relying on the nonlinear mutual information of time series analysis and betweenness centrality of complex network theory. We show,

Tidal influence on self-potential measurements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
DJM was supported by NERC CASE studentship NE/I018417/1. The authors would also like to thank Southern Water for access to the borehole at Saltdean. Atkins Global and Southern Water are thanked for funding installation of the equipment and for additional

Satellite techniques for determining the geopotential for sea-surface elevations [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
Spaceborne altimetry with measurement accuracies of a few centimeters which has the potential to determine sea surface elevations necessary to compute accurate three-dimensonal geostrophic currents from traditional hydrographic observation is discussed ...

The response of drifting buoys to currents and wind [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
Two buoy types have been tested with respect to their drift performance under drogued and undrogued conditions. Additionally, forces acting on the buoys were measured directly.

Using microwaves to map global ocean surface currents [PDF]

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2014
Sailors and scientists have been charting ocean currents for centuries, yet even today, reliable, up‐to‐date maps of global surface currents for navigation or other operational uses are scarce.

Ocean Satellite Data Fusion for High-Resolution Surface Current Maps

open access: yesRemote Sensing
Real-time reconstruction of ocean surface currents is a challenge due to the complex, non-linear dynamics of the ocean, the small number of in situ measurements, and the spatio-temporal heterogeneity of satellite altimetry observations.

Ocean surface current retrieval using a non homogeneous Markov-switching multi-regime model

open access: yes, 2014
International audienceThis paper addresses the reconstruction of sea surface currents from satellite ocean sensing data. Whereas the classical surface currents derived from the SSH (Sea Surface Height) products are rather low space-time resolution fields
