The data of instrumental observations of water temperature at autonomous bottom stations in the coastal zone of Sakhalin Island (the depth is 3-17 m) mainly along the southeastern coast are analyzed. The cases of sharp (by 15°C per day) temperature drop are detected. They are caused by the strengthening of southern and southwestern winds typtcal of summer and betng the offshore winds which favor the...
The SAR-derived wind fields presented the detailed structure of wind fields along the coastal areas, which had heretofore been unobtainable from scatterometer observation. Comparison of the retrieved SAR wind speeds with in-situ buoy wind measurements showed a small difference of less than 1 m/s, which implied that the results of SAR wind retrieval satisfied the limit of accuracy of satellite scatterometry...
Summary form only given. Atmospheric mesoscale modeling of a typical June California and Northern Baja California marine atmosphere reveals details important to coastal ocean processes. The southbound wind speed increases from distant offshore to up to a few kilometers of the Northern and Central California Coast. Fast winds extend southward of Point Conception, leaving the eastern portion Southern...
Since the 1980s, corals have experienced unprecedented high temperature-induced coral bleaching and subsequent mortality. Location, intensity, severity, duration, and recovery from bleaching are predictable by the satellite sea surface temperature (SST) "HotSpot" method (Goreau&Hayes, 1994). HotSpot patterns have been mapped over the last 2 decades, and show strong regional trends: SST...
