Spectral particulate attenuation and particle size distribution in the bottom boundary layer of a continental shelf
Spectral attenuation and absorption coefficients of particulate matter and colocated hydrographic measurements were obtained in the Mid-Atlantic Bight during the fall of 1996 and the spring of 1997 as part of the Coastal Mixing and Optics experiment. Within the bottom boundary layer (BBL) the magnitude of the beam attenuation decreased and its spectral shape became steeper with distance from th...
متن کاملObservations and Simulation of a Bottom Ekman Layer on a Continental Shelf
A numerical model was used to simulate the bottom Ekman layer of a continental shelf region. The basis for the model was the Mellor and Yamada level 2« turbulence closure scheme. Conservation equations for momentum, turbulent kinetic energy, and turbulent length scale were utilized in the model. The model was used to simulate data taken from a Cyclesonde mooring on the Peruvian continental shel...
متن کاملTurbulence Measurement Surveys in the Convectively Driven Upper Mixed Layer and Close-Bottom Boundary Layer Over a Continental Shelf During a Storm Front
The principal objective of this work is to contribute to the development of effective remote autonomous mine countermeasure operations by providing pertinent flow, heat flux and sediment transport characteristics in the benthic boundary layer to missions engaged in sea mine reconnaissance and hunting. These environmental characteristics govern acoustic and light propagation, chemical and biogen...
متن کاملAtmospheric Controls on Soil Moisture–Boundary Layer Interactions. Part II: Feedbacks within the Continental United States
The CTP-HIlow framework for describing atmospheric controls on soil moisture–boundary layer interactions is described in a companion paper, Part I. In this paper, the framework is applied to the continental United States to investigate how differing atmospheric regimes influence local feedbacks between the land surface and the atmosphere. The framework was developed with a one-dimensional bound...
متن کاملRange-dependent waveguide scattering model calibrated for bottom reverberation in a continental shelf environment.
An analytic model is developed for scattering from random inhomogeneities in range-dependent ocean waveguides using the Rayleigh-Born approximation to Green's theorem. The expected scattered intensity depends on statistical moments of fractional changes in compressibility and density, which scatter as monopoles and dipoles, respectively, and the coherence volume of the inhomogeneities. The mode...
