Relative contributions of heat flux and wind stress on the spatiotemporal upper-ocean variability in the tropical Indian Ocean

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2020
High-resolution ocean general circulation model (OGCM) simulations are employed to investigate interannual variability of the upper-ocean temperature in the tropical Indian Ocean (20°S–20°N).

Latitudinal dependence of wind-induced near-inertial energy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Mid-latitude storms, accounting for the majority of wind energy input to near-inertial motions in the ocean, are known to shift their track significantly from one year to another.

Deviation of Wind Stress From Wind Direction Under Low Wind Conditions [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2018
AbstractThe deviation of the wind stress vector from the wind direction at the air‐sea interface under low wind conditions was investigated based on direct eddy covariance flux measurements taken at a coastal tower in the northern South China Sea. The wind stress deviates significantly from the mean wind direction under low wind conditions, with the ...

Wind work on oceanic mesoscale eddies in the Northeast Tropical Pacific Ocean

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The transfer of atmospheric kinetic energy to the ocean is one of the major concerns in climate research. According to previous studies, the work of wind stress on oceanic mesoscale eddy is negative in most oceans, referred to as “eddy killing”. However,

Coupling Ocean Currents and Waves with Wind Stress over the Gulf Stream

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
This study provides the first detailed analysis of oceanic and atmospheric responses to the current-stress, wave-stress, and wave-current-stress interactions around the Gulf Stream using a high-resolution three-way coupled regional modeling system.

Effect of the Grijalva-Usumacinta system on the circulation adjacent to the eastern shelf of Yucatan

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Turbidity is a good indicator to determine the quality of the water; it is a measure of the number of particles in suspension in the water. Using ocean color data, we analyzed the seasonal variability of turbidity in front of the Campeche Bank and part ...

Impacts of Atmospheric Pressure on the Annual Maximum of Monthly Sea-Levels in the Northeast Asian Marginal Seas

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
Monthly mean sea-levels have annual maxima in August in the northeast Asian marginal seas (NEAMS). Based on satellite altimetry data, the rising rate of the August NEAMS sea-level (ANS, 4.2 mm∙yr−1) is greater than those of the NEAMS (3.6 mm∙yr−1) and ...

Effects of Periodic Tidal Elevations on the Air-Sea Momentum and Turbulent Heat Fluxes in the East China Sea

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2022
Using bulk formulas, two-year platform (fastened to the seabed) hourly observations from 2016 to 2017 in the East China Sea (121.6° E, 32.4° N) are used to investigate the role of the tide-induced surface elevation in changing the fixed observational ...

The Space Environment and Atmospheric Joule Heating of the Habitable Zone Exoplanet TOI700-d

open access: yes, 2020
We investigate the space environment conditions near the Earth-size planet TOI~700~d using a set of numerical models for the stellar corona and wind, the planetary magnetosphere, and the planetary ionosphere.
