Modeling of California's June wind, wind stress and curl of the wind stress

Oceans 2003. Celebrating the Past ... Teaming Toward the Future (IEEE Cat. No.03CH37492), 2003
Summary form only given. Atmospheric mesoscale modeling of a typical June California and Northern Baja California marine atmosphere reveals details important to coastal ocean processes. The southbound wind speed increases from distant offshore to up to a few kilometers of the Northern and Central California Coast.

Effects of Wind Stress and Wind Stress Curl Variability on Coastal Upwelling

Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1995
Abstract Aircraft measurements during the winter 1989 Shelf Mixed Layer Experiment (SMILE) and summer 1982 Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment (CODE) were used to characterize the spatial variation of the low-level wind and wind stress over the northern California shelf.

Upwelling induced by periodic wind stress

Il Nuovo Cimento C, 1988
In this paper we exhibit analytical solutions for the upwelling and the coastal currents induced by periodic wind stress. We present solutions for an infinite deep ocean and for a shallow ocean. There is upwelling only when the period of the forcing is longer than the inertial period,i.e. f>ω. When the period of the forcing is shorter than the inertial

Wind Stresses in Domes

Journal of the Engineering Mechanics Division, 1960
Bending stresses due to antisymmetrical wind pressures in hemispherical dome elastically built-in into cylinder are determined by means of Geckeler approach extended to nonsymmetrical loads; methods used in solution of present problem are easily extended to spherical sector shells stiffened by rings at boundary and to other types of nonsymmetrical ...

Wind and Wind Stress Measurements in HiRes

2008
Abstract : The long-term goals are to further the understanding of air-sea interaction processes including momentum, heat, water vapor, surface and boundary layer dynamics under various meteorological and oceanographic conditions. The objectives of this grant are to measure and analyze the wind, wind stress and associated quantities at sea in the High ...

Buoy measured wind, wind stress and wind stress curl over the shelf off Bodega Bay, California

Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, 2006
Abstract An array of five buoys and three coastal stations is used to characterize the winds, stress, and curl of the wind stress over the shelf off Bodega Bay, California. The wind and wind stress are strong and persistent in the summer and weak in the winter.

Wind Stress Curl and Wind Stress Divergence Biases from Rain Effects on QSCAT Surface Wind Retrievals

Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2004
Abstract Surface vector wind datasets from scatterometers provide essential high-resolution surface forcing information for analyses and models of global atmosphere–ocean processes affecting weather and climate. The importance of realistic amplitude, high-wavenumber, surface wind forcing from scatterometer data has been demonstrated in a variety of ...

Wind-Stress Coefficients at Light Winds

Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 1988
Abstract The increase of the wind-stress coefficient with wind velocity was found to start with winds as light as 3 m s−1, below which, following the formula for aerodynamically smooth flows, the wind-stress coefficient decreases as the wind velocity increases.
