The influence of sea ice, wind speed and marine mammals on Southern Ocean ambient sound
This paper describes the natural variability of ambient sound in the Southern Ocean, an acoustically pristine marine mammal habitat. Over a 3-year period, two autonomous recorders were moored along the Greenwich meridian to collect underwater passive acoustic data. Ambient sound levels were strongly affected by the annual variation of the sea-ice cover, which decouples local wind speed and soun...
متن کاملEnergetics of wind-driven barotropic variability in the Southern Ocean
This study addresses the energetics of the Southern Ocean, in response to high-frequency wind forcing. A constant-density, multi-layer model is forced with a band of stochastically varying wind stress. The focus is on the interplay between the surface layer and the interior circulation. In line with previous examinations, it is concluded that the interior ocean is not directly energized by the ...
متن کاملInterpreting wind-driven Southern Ocean variability in a stochastic framework
A stochastic model is derived from wind stress and bottom pressure gauge data to examine the response of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) transport to wind stress forcing. A general method is used to estimate the drift and diffusion coef cients of a continuous stationaryMarkovian system. As a rst approximation, the response of the ACC to wind stress forcing can be describedby a multiv...
متن کاملWind Wave Tank for Experimental Investigation of Momentum and Enthalpy Transfer from the Ocean Surface at High Wind Speed
Thermodynamic analysis and numerical modeling of hurricane intensity has shown that its is controlled by the enthalpy transfer from the ocean surface and by drag. Direct measurements of drag, evaporation, and sensible heat transfer are not easily performed on the high seas. Therefore, a wind wave tank has been constructed in which a few aspects of a tropical storm are simulated. The air velocit...
متن کاملSouthern Ocean Response to Relative Velocity Wind Stress Forcing
An eddy resolving quasi-geostrophic model of the Southern Ocean coupled to a dynamic atmospheric mixed layer is used to compare the performance of two different wind stress parameterisation schemes. The first is the standard quadratic drag law based on atmospheric velocity alone, while the second (more exact) formulation is based on the difference between ocean and atmosphere velocities. The tw...
