Stochastic Analysis of Southern and Pacific Ocean Sea Surface Winds
This paper shows that the synoptic variability of zonal and meridional midlatitude Pacific and Southern Ocean sea surface winds can be well described by a univariate stochastic dynamical system directly derived from data. The method used to analyze blended Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT)–NCEP winds is a general method to estimate drift and diffusion coefficients of a continuous stationary Markov...
متن کاملIs the Intensifying Wave Climate of the U.S. Pacific Northwest Increasing Flooding and Erosion Risk Faster Than Sea-Level Rise?
The relative contributions of sea-level rise (SLR) and increasing extratropical storminess to the frequency with which waves attack coastal features is assessed with a simple total water level (TWL) model. For the coast of the U.S. Pacific Northwest over the period of wavebuoy observations (approximately 30 years), wave height (and period) increases have had a more significant role in the incre...

متن کاملECO and Regional Trade
Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO), based on regional and multicultural cooperation, has focused on the improvement of living standards, collective as well as individual prosperity of people and economic development of member’s states. Since February 1992 ECO has been expanded to ten as the result of collapse of the Soviet Union. Of course, gas and oil are very important factors in this re...
متن کاملSea level changes forced by Southern Ocean winds
[1] On regional scales, changes in sea level are significantly affected by local dynamical changes. Westerly winds over the Southern Ocean have been strengthening and shifting southward in recent decades, and this change is projected to continue in the future. This study applies wind forcing anomalies to an eddy-permitting ocean model to study the dynamical response to a Southern Hemisphere wes...
