    • Anticyclonic rings and the energetics of the circulation of the Gulf of Mexico 
      Elliott, Brady Allen (Texas A&M University. Libraries, )
      The question addressed in this dissertation is what is the primary energy source for the anticyclonic gyre found in the western Gulf of Mexico. Two energy sources are considered: the Loop Current through the mechanism of ...
    • Evaluation of the potential of the NOAA-n AVHRR reflective data in oceanography 
      Gallegos, Sonia (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)
      A need exists in oceanography for synoptic detection and delineation of various organic and physical features at the ocean surface because assessment of such features may provide insight into the complex interactions of ...
    • On surface circulation of the Eastern North Pacific 
      Hagan, Denise Ellen (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)
      A qualitative and statistical study of the trajectory data for 51 satellite-reporting, drogued drifters in the Eastern North Pacific has shown that there are distinct seasonal differences in the patterns of surface flow. ...
    • On the variability of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current 
      Peterson, Ray George (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)
      A time series of net transport during 1979 of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current through the upper 2500 m of Drake Passage was obtained as part of the International Southern Ocean Studies by Whitworth (1983), and was presented ...
    • The scattering of sunlight in the atmosphere-ocean system : a study using Monte Carlo techniques 
      Guinn, John Alonzo (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)
      Separate Monte Carlo programs are developed to evaluate the distribution of scattered light in the earth's atmosphere-ocean system. In one case the radiance, the degree and direction of polarization, and the ellipticity ...
    • Seasonal variations of tropical oceanic rainfall characteristics 
      Ahn, Yoo-Shin (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)
      Using infrared cloud top temperatures observed by the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) - West, an attempt is made to quantify the area-averaged rainfall by using the GOES precipitation index (GPI). ...
    • The wind-forced response of the Southern Ocean 
      Johnson, Mark Andrew (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)
      In an analysis of satellite-tracked drifting surface buoys released in the Southern Ocean, buoy velocities are averaged for 90 days. The averaged velocity vectors show circulation that generally agrees with views of the ...
