Coastal ocean variability off the coast of Taiwan in response to typhoon Morakot : river forcing, atmospheric forcing, and cold dome dynamics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
The ocean is a complex, constantly changing, highly dynamical system. Prediction capabilities are constantly being improved in order to better understand and forecast ocean properties for applications in science, industry, ...
Interannual variability of the Pacific water boundary current in the Beaufort Sea
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
Between 2002 and 2011 a single mooring was maintained in the core of the Pacific Water boundary current in the Alaskan Beaufort Sea near 152° W. Using velocity and hydrographic data from six year-long deployments during ...
Geoacoustic inversion by mode amplitude perturbation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
This thesis introduces an algorithm for inverting for the geoacoustic properties of the seafloor in shallow water. The input data required by the algorithm are estimates of the amplitudes of the normal modes excited by a ...
