Investigation of Geostrophic and Ekman Surface Current Using Satellite Altimetry Observations and Surface Wind in Persian Gulf and Oman Sea
The rise of satellite altimetry is a revolution in the ocean sciences. Due to its global coverage and its high resolution, altimetry classically outperforms in situ water level measurement. Ekman and geostrophic currents are large parts of the ocean’s current, playing a vital role in global climate variations. According to the classic oceanography, Ekman and geostrophic currents can be calculat...
متن کاملDiagnosis of the Three-Dimensional Circulation Associated with Mesoscale Motion in the California Current
A high-resolution upper-ocean survey of a cyclonic jet meander and an adjacent cyclonic eddy in the California Current region near 388N, 1268W was conducted as part of the summer of 1993 Eastern Boundary Currents program. Temperature and salinity were measured from a SeaSoar vehicle, and velocity was measured by shipboard acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). SeaSoar data show a density fro...
متن کاملAn Objective Method for Computing Advective Surface Velocities From Sequential Infrared Satellite Images
Using cross correlations between sequential infrared satellite images, an objective technique is developed to compute advective sea surface velocities. Cross correlations are computed in 32 x 32 pixel search (second image) and 22 x 22 template (first image) windows from gradients of sea surface temperature computed from the satellite images. Velocity vectors, computed from sequential images of ...
متن کاملProfiling Float Measurements of the Recirculation Gyre South of the Kuroshio Extension in May–November, 2004
During May–November, 2004, 20 profiling floats were deployed in the recirculation gyre (RG) region south of the Kuroshio Extension (KE). With the KE and RG being in a stable state, most of these floats remained within the RG, resulting in a large number of satellite position fixes for estimating the velocities at the parking depth (1,500 db), and of T/S (Temperature/Salinity) profiles for estim...
متن کاملGeostrophic and ageostrophic circulation of a shallow anticyclonic eddy off Cape Bojador
A shallow mesoscale anticyclonic eddy, observed south of the Canary Islands with satellite altimetry, has been intensively studied with multiparametric sampling. Hydrographic data from a CTD installed on an undulating Nu-shuttle platform reveal the presence of a mesoscale anticyclonic eddy of 125 km diameter. The difference in sea level anomaly (SLA) between the interior and the edge of the edd...
