  • 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 ...

  • Sea level and circulation variability of the Gulf of Carpentaria; influence of the Madden-Julian Oscillation and the adjacent deep ocean 

    Oliver, E. C. J., and K. R. Thompson. 2011. "Sea level and circulation variability of the Gulf of Carpentaria; influence of the Madden-Julian Oscillation and the adjacent deep ocean." Journal of Geophysical Research 116(C2): 02019-Citation C02019. DOI: 10.1029/2010JC006596
    The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is a significant contributing factor to intraseasonal variability in both the tropical and extratropical atmosphere and ocean. Sea level and circulation variations in the Gulf of Carpentaria ...
