Master of Science in Physical Oceanography
Eighteen months of sea surface height data from the GEOSAT altimeter along collinear subtracks were analyzed for information on the circulation pattern in the Bering Sea. Seventy subtracks from both ascending and descending orbits, with as many as 35 repeat cycles along each subtrack, were analyzed. Orbit errors were removed from the height data using a least-squares fit to a cubic polynomial, ...
متن کاملPhysical Oceanography in High Roughness Environments
Marine systems globally face increased risks from climate change and increasing human populations. In, addition, coastal human populations face risks from hazards such as flooding from storms, sea level rise from climate change, and decreased protection from reefs. Effective conservation and management of these systems therefore requires a fundamental understanding of the underlying physical oc...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Estimators in the Equations of Physical Oceanography
We study parametric models of the upper ocean variability described by a certain class of stochastic partial diierential equations. The maximum likelihood (ML) method is used to estimate the unknown model parameters for continuous or discrete (in time) observations. Necessary and suucient conditions are given for the consistency, asymptotic normality and eeciency of the ML estimators when the n...
متن کاملA perspective on the future of physical oceanography.
The ocean flows because it is forced by winds, tides and exchanges of heat and freshwater with the overlying atmosphere and cryosphere. To achieve a state where the defining properties of the ocean (such as its energy and momentum) do not continuously increase, some form of dissipation or damping is required to balance the forcing. The ocean circulation is thought to be forced primarily at the ...
متن کاملWestern Antarctic Peninsula physical oceanography and spatio–temporal variability
Peninsula (WAP). The dataset offers the most long-lived consistent CTD-gridded observations of Antarctic waters collected anywhere in the Southern Ocean. The physical characteristics, water column structure and spatio–temporal variability of the various properties are examined for physically consistent and ecologically important patterns and modes of variability. Unique findings of note include...
