  • A description of water types on the Mackenzie Shelf of the Beaufort Sea during winter 

    Moore, R. M., H. Melling, and K. R. Thompson. 1992. "A description of water types on the Mackenzie Shelf of the Beaufort Sea during winter." Journal of Geophysical Research.C.Oceans 97(C8): 12607-12618. DOI:10.1029/92JC00842
    For a number of years during the 1980s, observations of the physical and chemical properties of seawater in the southeastern Beaufort Sea have been acquired in late winter. The most complete data set, from 1987, has been ...

  • The detection of coastal-trapped waves 

    Haines, J. W., K. R. Thompson, and D. P. Wiens. 1991. "The detection of coastal-trapped waves." Journal of Geophysical Research 96: 2593-7. DOI:10.1029/90JC02218
    The authors outline a simple method for estimating the cross-spectral matrix of coastal-trapped wave amplitudes, A, from a set of oceanographic observations. Specifically, they propose that A may be estimated by ...

  • Low-Frequency Fluctuations in the Strait of Gibraltar from Medalpex Sea-Level Data 

    GARRETT, C., J. AKERLEY, and K. THOMPSON. 1989. "Low-Frequency Fluctuations in the Strait of Gibraltar from Medalpex Sea-Level Data." Journal of Physical Oceanography 19(11): 1682-1696. © Copyright 1989 American Meteorological Society (AMS)

  • Return periods of extreme sea levels from short records 

    Middleton, J. F., and K. R. Thompson. 1986. "Return periods of extreme sea levels from short records." Journal of Geophysical Research 91: 11707-16. DOI: 10.1029/JC091iC10p11707
    Extreme sea levels usually arise from a combination of the tides (assumed here to be deterministic) and storm surges (assumed stochastic). The authors show how tide and surge statistics derived from short (~1 year) records ...

  • Estimation of Low-Frequency Wind Stress Fluctuations Over the Open Ocean
