Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A case study of the Andreas et al. (1984) data on atmospheric boundary layer modification in the marginal ice zone is made. Our model is a two-dimensional, multi-level, linear model with turbulence, lateral and vertical advection, and radiation. Good agreement between observed and modeled temperature cross-sections is obtained. In contrast to the hypothesis of Andreas et al., we find the air flow is stable to secondary circulations. Cloud top longwave cooling, not an air-to-surface heat flux, dominates the cooling of the boundary layer. The accumulation with fetch over the ice of changes in the surface wind field are shown to have a large effect on estimates of the surface wind stress. We speculate that the Andreas et al. estimates of the drag coefficient over the compact sea ice are too high. Keywords: Atmospheric boundary layers; and Air-sea-ice interaction.

Download or read book A Mesoscale Air-Ice-Ocean Feedback Mechanism for the Ice Drift in the Marginal Ice Zone written by and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ice drift in the marginal ice zone (MIZ) is a very important feature of air-ice-ocean interaction at high latitude. Thermally generated surface winds, blowing from ice to water (ice breeze) with some deflection due to the earth rotation, force the ice drift and ocean currents near the MIZ. By changing the surface temperature gradient, the ice motion and the ocean currents feed back on the surface winds. A coupled air-ice-ocean theoretical model for the MIZ is employed to discuss the ice drift pattern with such a feedback mechanism. The steady-state solutions show that an off-ice and divergent wind field not only producee a dilation of the MIZ (as people generally think), but also generates a compaction of MIZ for some circumstances. An ice divergence/convergence criterion is found. The time-dependent solutions show that the ice motion exhibits two bifurcations. First, it bifurcates into decaying and growing modes. Second, the growing mode bifurcatee into non-oscillatory and oscillatory states. Finally, the model predicts the ice edge upwelling.

Book Synopsis Remote Sensing of Hydrometeorological Hazards by : George P. Petropoulos
Download or read book Remote Sensing of Hydrometeorological Hazards written by George P. Petropoulos and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extreme weather and climate change aggravate the frequency and magnitude of disasters. Facing atypical and more severe events, existing early warning and response systems become inadequate both in scale and scope. Earth Observation (EO) provides today information at global, regional and even basin scales related to agrometeorological hazards. This book focuses on drought, flood, frost, landslides, and storms/cyclones and covers different applications of EO data used from prediction to mapping damages as well as recovery for each category. It explains the added value of EO technology in comparison with conventional techniques applied today through many case studies.

Book Synopsis Antarctic Environments and Resources by : J.D. Hansom
Download or read book Antarctic Environments and Resources written by J.D. Hansom and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antarctica is no longer a 'pole apart'. From a scientific perspective, the Antarctic ice sheet, ocean and climate systems are intimately linked with the global climate and are now seen to be of international significance for understanding climate change. From an economic perspective, the Antarctic is perceived to have great potential as a source of marine resources although the extent of speculated mineral and hydrocarbon resources is unknown. From a conservation perspective, the continent of Antarctica represents the ideal image of unspoiled wilderness. Antarctic Environments and Resources is an accessible and timely new geography of the Antarctic which examines the differing and sometimes conflicting interests in the great southern continent, the Southern Ocean and the subantarctic islands against a background of the physical and natural systems of the region and their interactions. It charts the development of human involvement in the area, focusing on the exploitation of resources from early sealing to modern fisheries, tourism and science, and it assesses the consequent impacts on the natural environment. The text also reviews the emerging framework for future environmental management developed under the Antarctic Treaty System. This is an ideal text for undergraduates studying glacial geomorphology, environmental management, polar regions and the Antarctic.

Download or read book MIZEX written by P. Wadhams and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document describes the research strategy for a series of mesoscale studies of Arctic marginal ice zones. The main goal of this program is to gain a better understanding of the processes occurring at the ice margin. These processes are relevant to climate, weather forecasting, petroleum exploration and production, marine transportation, naval operations, and commercial fisheries. In addition, MIZEX will aid in determining what modifications to existing ice-ocean-atmospheric models are needed for better prediction near the ice margin. These goals are consistent with recommendations made by international scientific bodies, most notably those of the Joint Scientific Committee (JSC) in its plan for the World Climate Research Programme (WMO-ICSU, 1981). In this document the JSC states that for improved modeling it is necessary: 'To study the physical processes affecting interactions between air, ice and sea at the sea-ice margin and to develop methods for their adequate representation in climate models.' More specific details on initial field programs will be addressed in planning meetings in the near future. In addition, it is anticipated that other aspects of the program, such as modeling, will be addressed in future workshops, with the results distributed in a similar format to this research strategy.
Download or read book Sea Ice written by David N. Thomas and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-03-06 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 20 years the study of the frozen Arctic and Southern Oceans and sub-arctic seas has progressed at a remarkable pace. This third edition of Sea Ice gives insight into the very latest understanding of the how sea ice is formed, how we measure (and model) its extent, the biology that lives within and associated with sea ice and the effect of climate change on its distribution. How sea ice influences the oceanography of underlying waters and the influences that sea ice has on humans living in Arctic regions are also discussed. Featuring twelve new chapters, this edition follows two previous editions (2001 and 2010), and the need for this latest update exhibits just how rapidly the science of sea ice is developing. The 27 chapters are written by a team of more than 50 of the worlds’ leading experts in their fields. These combine to make the book the most comprehensive introduction to the physics, chemistry, biology and geology of sea ice that there is. This third edition of Sea Ice will be a key resource for all policy makers, researchers and students who work with the frozen oceans and seas.
