Buoyancy-driven circulation in the Red Sea
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This thesis explores the buoyancy-driven circulation in the Red Sea, using a combination of observations, as well as numerical modeling and analytical method. The first part of the thesis investigates the formation mechanism ... -
Dynamics of marine zooplankton : social behavior, ecological interactions, and physically-induced variability
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Marine ecosystems reflect the physical structure of their environment and the biological processes they carry out. This leads to spatial heterogeneity and temporal variability, some of which is imposed externally and some ... -
The effect of stratification on wind-driven, cross-shelf circulation and transport on the inner continental shelf
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Observations from a three-year field program on the inner shelf south of Martha's Vineyard, MA and a numerical model are used to describe the effect of stratification on inner shelf circulation, transport, and sediment ... -
Instabilities and radiation of thin, baroclinic jets
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1982) -
A multi-dimensional spectral description of ocean variability with applications
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Efforts to monitor the ocean for signs of climate change are hampered by ever-present noise, in the form of stochastic ocean variability, and detailed knowledge of the character of this noise is necessary for estimating ... -
An ocean-atmosphere energy climate model
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980) -
The production of temperature and salinity variance and covariance : implications for mixing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Large-scale thermal forcing and freshwater fluxes play an essential role in setting temperature and salinity in the ocean. A number of recent estimates of the global oceanic freshwater balance as well as the global oceanic ... -
A study of the wind-driven ocean circulation in an equatorial basin
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1976) -
The vertical structure of the wind-driven circulation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1981)
