Surface drifting buoys, or drifters, are used in oceanographic and climate research, oil spill
tracking, weather forecasting, search and rescue operations, calibration and validation of …

Observation and Estimation of Lagrangian, Stokes, and Eulerian Currents Induced by Wind and
Waves at the Sea Surface in: Journal of Physical Oceanography Volume 39 Issue 11 (2009) …

The surface drifting buoys, or drifters, of the Global Drifter Program (GDP) are predominantly
tracked by the Argos positioning system, providing drifter locations with O (100 m) errors at …

Abstract The Community Climate System Model, version 4 (CCSM4) is used to assess the
climate impact of wind-generated near-inertial waves (NIWs). Even with high-frequency …

The wind power input to near‐inertial (NI) motions is studied using a global eddy‐permitting
ocean general circulation model. The model is forced by high‐(1‐hourly, at 0.35° resolution) …

This study examines spreading of surface drifter pairs deployed as part of the CLIVAR Mode
Water Dynamic Experiment (CLIMODE) project in the Gulf Stream region. The spreading is …

The modification of near‐surface near‐inertial oscillations (NIOs) by the geostrophic vorticity
is studied globally from an observational standpoint. Surface drifter are used to estimate NIO …

Estimates of the kinetic energy transfer from the wind to the ocean are often limited by the
spatial and temporal resolution of surface currents and surface winds. Here we examine the …

Stochastic processes exhibiting power-law slopes in the frequency domain are frequently
well modeled by fractional Brownian motion (fBm), with the spectral slope at high …

Internal waves generated by the interaction of the surface tides with topography are known
to propagate long distances and lead to observable effects such as sea level variability …
