The adjoint method of data assimilation used operationally for shelf circulation
(1996-02)
A real-time shelf circulation model with data assimilation has been successfully used, possibly for the first time, on the outer Nova Scotian Shelf, The adjoint method was used to infer the time histories of flows across ...
A robust method for diagnosing regional shelf circulation from scattered density profiles
(1996-11)
We present a straightforward method for estimating surface circulation on an f plane from a set of irregularly spaced vertical density profiles. The first step is to express bottom density rho(h) as the sum of a mean for ...
Extraction of tidal streams from a ship-borne acoustic Doppler current profiler using a statistical-dynamical model
(1996-04)
We present a method for extracting the barotropic tide directly from the time-space series of horizontal velocity obtained by a ship-borne acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). The method is conceptually straightforward, ...
Primary production by suspended and benthic microalgae in a turbid estuary: Time-scales of variability in San Antonio Bay, Texas
(1996-12)
The within-day, between-day and month-to-month variability of light attenuation and microalgal chlorophyll a (chl a) and photosynthetic response was measured in San Antonio Bay, Texas, USA. Waters were shallow (<2 m) ...
Bromoperoxidase and iodoperoxidase enzymes and production of halogenated methanes in marine diatom cultures
(1996-09)
Halogenated methanes produced in the oceans are important as carriers of chlorine, bromine, and iodine into the atmosphere. There they play roles in the regulation of ozone in the stratosphere and perhaps in the Arctic ...
