Abstract (sommario):

Henry Melson Stommel, probably the most original and important physical oceanographer of all time, was in large measure the creator of the modern field of dynamical oceanography. He contributed and inspired many of its most important ideas over a 45–year period. Hank, as many called him, was known throughout the world oceanographic community not only as a superb scientist, but as raconteur, explosives amateur, printer, painter, gentleman farmer, fiction writer and host with a puckish sense of humour and booming laugh.

Abstract (sommario):

AbstractMarine multichannel seismic (MCS) data, used to obtain structural reflection images of the earth’s subsurface, can also be used in physical oceanography exploration. This method provides vertical and lateral resolutions of O(10–100) m, covering the existing observational gap in oceanic exploration. All MCS data used so far in physical oceanography studies have been acquired using conventional seismic instrumentation originally designed for geological exploration. This work presents the proof of concept of an alternative MCS system that is better adapted to physical oceanography and has two goals: 1) to have an environmentally low-impact acoustic source to minimize any potential disturbance to marine life and 2) to be light and portable, thus being installed on midsize oceanographic vessels. The synthetic experiments simulate the main variables of the source, shooting, and streamer involved in the MCS technique. The proposed system utilizes a 5-s-long exponential chirp source of 208 dB relative to 1 μPa at 1 m with a frequency content of 20–100 Hz and a relatively short 500-m-long streamer with 100 channels. This study exemplifies through numerical simulations that the 5-s-long chirp source can reduce the peak of the pressure signal by 26 dB with respect to equivalent air gun–based sources by spreading the energy in time, greatly reducing the impact to marine life. Additionally, the proposed system could be transported and installed in midsize oceanographic vessels, opening new horizons in acoustic oceanography research.

Abstract (sommario):

Oceanography is a vast domain dealing with various aspects of marine life, physical and chemical aspects of the seas and oceans of the world. Searching available oceanographic documents of the 19th, 20th and 21st century, the aim of the paper is to emphasize the specific terminology of at least one of the branches of oceanography. The branches of oceanography deal with marine biology, ocean chemistry, marine geology and marine physics. The differences between the Romanian and English terminology according to the etymology are brought into discussion and conclusions drawn according to the similarities and differences.

Abstract (sommario):

Large scale global oceanic circulation redistributes heat and freshwater and therefore affects global climate. One of its main forcing mechanisms is, in addition to surface heat and freshwater fluxes, the diapycnal (across lines of equal density) mixing in the ocean interior. The energy needed to drive the mixing processes is mainly provided by tides and wind [Wunsch, 2002]. It is transformed into internal wave energy, cascading through a range of smaller scales leading finally into turbulence and molecular dissipation. Water masses in the ocean are stratified and often separated by relatively thin layers with strong gradients in temperature and/or salinity across which heat and mass transfer occur in order to maintain global circulation and stratification. However, these processes are difficult to observe in practice. Below a few meters, the ocean is opaque to light, and thus to direct optical observations of deep processes [Thorpe, 2005]. Therefore, the development of scientific methodologies and instruments to directly or indirectly measure processes in the ocean interior are of high importance to understanding those processes and their implications. The motivation behind this research is two-tier: 1) broadly, and academically, it is the scientific curiosity of understanding the ocean in order to better comprehend its role in the context of Earth systems; 2) expressly, the motivation is to develop the methodological toolset necessary to observe the ocean on a spatial and temporal scale not possible with traditional oceanographic techniques, thus allowing the foundation of more accurate models of ocean circulation and thereby, ocean-climate interactions. The toolset is emerging as a robust technique of physical oceanography known as 'seismic oceanography'. By definition, seismic oceanography is the application of multichannel seismic (MCS) reflection profiling to physical oceanography. This definition, however, could be subject to future revision and refinement because the development of seismic oceanography observational tools will inevitably lead to newer perspectives. The Mediterranean Outflow Water (henceforth, MOW) is a natural laboratory for seismic oceanography. The MOW was chosen to test seismic reflection in oceanography for three main reasons: 1) The strong oceanographic signature of the MOW. Due to the penetration of the MOW into the North Atlantic through the Strait of Gibraltar, strong characteristic contrasts in temperature (1.5 °C) and salinity (0.3 psu) and thus, density (0.4 kg/m3) are observed between the MOW and the surrounding Atlantic waters [Baringer and Price, 1997]. These contrasts in density (along with sound speed) are the contributing factors to reflection coefficient, making the identification of structures and processes possible. 2) The large variety of oceanographic and topographic features, such as a continental slope, undulating seafloor (including seamounts and basins) and mesoscale Mediterranean salt lenses (meddies). These structures and processes are believed to play an important role in maintaining the temperature and salinity distribution in the north Atlantic [Bower et. al., 1997]. 3) Finally, extensive archived data sets of bothoceanographic and seismic data place interpretive constraints on the data collected. Part I of this thesis consists of two peer-reviewed papers published by the author and coauthors (Chapters 1 and 2), one manuscript submitted for publication (Chapter 3) and two published peer-reviewed research letters that the author played a lesser role developing (Chapter 4). Part II of the thesis addresses the seismological (Chapter 5) and oceanographic backgrounds (Chapter 6) in the context of some of the structures and processes that are amenable to seismic ensonification. Part III consists of general discussions and conclusions (Chapter 7) and potential future research and development (Chapter 8). La motivació que hi ha al darrera d'aquest treball es pot separar en dos nivells: 1) En termes generals, i acadèmicament, és la curiositat purament científica d'estudiar l'oceà per tal de comprendre millor el seu paper en el context de les Ciències de la Terra; 2) Concretament, la motivació és desenvolupar les eines necessàries per a observar l'oceà a una escala espaial i temporal que no és possible amb les tècniques tradicionals oceanogràfiques, permetent així generar models més precisos de circulació oceànica i, per tant, de les interaccions oceà-clima. L'objectiu a curt i mitjà termini d'aquesta tesi és el desenvolupament de noves eines d'oceanografia física que proporcionin noves perspectives sobre la dinàmica oceànica. Aquest conjunt d'eines està emergint com una metodologia sòlida dins de l'oceanografia física coneguda com 'oceanografia sísmica'. Per definició, l'oceanografia sísmica és l'aplicació de la sísmica de reflexió multicanal (MCS) a l'oceanografia física. Aquesta definició, però, podria estar subjecte a una futura revisió i perfeccionament, ja que el desenvolupament d'eines d'oceanografia sísmica inevitablement donarà lloc a noves perspectives. La part principal d'aquesta tesi la constitueixen quatre articles, publicats per l'autor i co-autors al llarg del seu període d'investigació (capítols 1, 2 i 4); així com un article sotmès (Capítol 3). En la segona part, com a suport per als lectors no familiaritzats, s'aborden els antecedents sismològics (Capítol 5) i oceanogràfics (Capítol 6) en el context d'algunes de les estructures i processos que són susceptibles de ser identificats mitjançant la sísmica. Les conclusions generals es presenten en el Capítol 7 i en el Capítol 8 es donen algunes recomanacions per a futures investigacions i desenvolupaments (Part III). La tesi es complementa amb quatre apèndixs, on a banda d'un ampli resum en català (Apèndix I), hi ha els diagrames de flux utilitzats per l'autor en el processament de les dades sísmiques (Apèndix II), un conjunt de set desplegables de les seccions sísmiques en gran format (Apèndix III) i finalment un glossari de termes útils per ajudar als lectors no iniciats en qualsevol de les branques de la sismologia o l'oceanografia (Apèndix IV).

Abstract (sommario):

Within the context of oceanographic research on northern estuaries in James Bay and Hudson Bay, and in relation with hydroelectric developments and their impact on the physical environment, two studies were undertaken. Both concern the importance of bottom topography, tidal motion and fresh water input on the estuarine processes in these areas. The first one, in Rupert Bay (south-eastern corner of James Bay), describes tidal and local wind effects on circulation and mixing patterns for summer conditions. An estimate of terms in the lateral momentum equation shows that the centrifugal acceleration, the Coriolis force and the baroclinic pressure gradient are the most important forces at a mid-bay cross section transect. The second study is concerned with the freshwater plume of Great Whale River (south-eastern Hudson Bay). CTD measurements were used to examine the lift-off point of the plume for under-ice and increasing discharge conditions. Comparison with existing models shows them to be inappropriate for under-ice conditions. Finally, the presence of supercooled water masses in the region of the study is reported.

Abstract (sommario):

Compared to neighbouring regions of ocean, the south coast of Western Australia (WA) has received relatively little scientific attention despite a range of Australian Commonwealth marine protected areas having been established in the region as of 2012. The ocean off the south coast of WA is characterised by a canyon-dense continental shelf edge including the Bremer Canyon, a shelf edge canyon of approximately 8 km width. There are also two main currents in the region, the eastward flowing Leeuwin Current (LC) situated above the continental shelf edge, and the westward flowing Flinders Current (FC) situated south of the continental shelf. The Blue-link Reanalysis (BRAN) ocean forecasting model simulates the currents, temperature and salinity around Australia at daily intervals from 1994 – 2016 with 1/10th degree resolution. It has been speculated that these currents may interact with the canyons along the shelf edge to induce oceanographic conditions conducive to increased pelagic productivity and ecological diversity. This study was a two-part investigation of the physical oceanography off the south coast of WA with a focus on shelf edge dynamics near Bremer Canyon. It involved the use of the (BRAN) model and in situ data including conductivity, temperature and depth (CTD) profiles during January 2017 and temperature logger measurements from near Bremer Canyon between 2015 and 2017. The BRAN outputs were in close agreement with previous studies of the LC and FC and showed that the mixed layer depth (MLD) was shallowest (<50 m) in summer and deepest in winter (>200 m), in sync with seasonal heat flux. The CTD results were within one SD of the average BRAN profiles and MLD results for January. The volume transport of the LC and strong westerly wind events were dominant drivers of the temperature variation along the shelf edge during autumn and winter of 2015 as the warm LC water was forced downwards. In spring and summer, the volume transport of the LC was lowest (1.6 Sv) and other factors became dominating drivers of the shelf edge temperature variation including eddy kinetics and canyon-related processes. The BRAN outputs effectively simulated the mesoscale features examined in this study including the volume transport of the LC, westerly wind forced response and the influence of mesoscale eddies. These processes have the potential to influence the pelagic ecology through vertical mixing and upwelling.

Abstract (sommario):

The larvae of coastal species interact with nearshore currents that are complex and can alter dispersal. I investigated two sites in southern Oregon with different nearshore hydrodynamics: the first site, Sunset Bay, is a small cove with a topographic front that extends across the mouth during upwelling-favorable winds. Using holey sock drogues at 1.5 m and 5.5 m depths and surface drifters at 10 cm depth, I found that, when the front was present, water at 1.5 m was retained within the bay whereas water was exchanged across the front at a depth of 5.5 m. Surface drifters indicated a surface convergence. Surface plankton tows on either side and within the frontal convergence (a shore-parallel foam line) found significantly higher concentrations of barnacle cyprids, crab megalopae and zoea, polychaete larvae, platyhelminthes juveniles, isopods, amphipods, harpacticoid copepods, and fish eggs. Crustacean nauplii (barnacle, euphausiid, and copepod) and calanoid copepods were not concentrated in the convergence, and when the front and foam line were absent, no taxa were concentrated. Plankton tows taken within the foam line as it dissipated shoreward during a wind-reversal event found that concentrations of cyprids, megalopae, and gastropod veligers remained high as the foam line moved, suggesting that it acts as a moving convergence propagating competent larvae shoreward. I measured settlement of two taxa at Sunset Bay and Shore Acres, an open-coast site <2 km away. Barnacle settlement measured every other day from June-September 2013 was significantly cross-correlated with the maximum daily tidal height at lags of -2 days at Sunset Bay and +2 and +4 days at Shore Acres. Settlement was also significantly negatively cross-correlated with wave height at a lag of -4 days at Sunset Bay. Coralline algae settlement measured during eight 48-hr periods in July-August 2013 was significantly negatively correlated with wave height (n = 8, R2 = 0.76, P = 0.0049) at Shore Acres but not at Sunset Bay. Despite the close proximity of the Sunset Bay and Shore Acres sites, settlement patterns differed between taxa, suggesting that differences in nearshore hydrodynamics might affect the supply of water and larvae to shore. This dissertation includes unpublished co-authored material.

Abstract (sommario):

Time series of temperature and salinity from current meters moored in 1988 and 1990 along the north shore of Baie des Chaleurs were analyzed to characterize the frequency of upwelling events. Upwelling was found to propagate cyclonically with speeds of 40 to 85 km per day. Moderate correlations between $ sigma sb{ rm t}$ and zonal wind stress were found. The interaction of buoyancy, topography, and oscillating wind stress simulated the upwelling in a reduced gravity model. The dominant frequencies of the upwelling events were approximately 4.5 to 10 days. Three water masses, one between the surface and the thermocline, one straddling the thermocline, and one at the bottom, were found to describe nicely the TS properties of the water column, as observed from the 1991 CTD data. The observed circulation, from August to October 1990, was cyclonic, with baroclinicity observed in the bottom two layers, and at two stations in the top layers.

Abstract (sommario):

The study investigates the dynamics of a small space scale (less than 10 km) coastal upwelling region at the temporal scales spanning hours to years. Three to four year time series data sets of, sea temperatures at different depths (2m, 5 m and 8,5 m) one kilometer offshore, of wind and of waves, obtained from Eskom for the Koeberg nuclear power station site study near Melkbosstrand (33° 41'S, 18° 26'E) were digitized on an hourly basis. An emphasis is placed on the study of the wind and sea temperature data, the latter being an unique data set in the South African context. The data were filtered into different frequency bands (<12,0 <0,5 <0,025 cpd). Simple statistics, linear correlation and spectral analysis were used to characterize these bands. Dominant temporal scales were identified as the seasonal, event (synoptic) and diurnal time scales. The characterization of the latter two time scales were supplemented with field work which inter alia measured: sea temperature profiles and transects; sea surface temperature distribution with the airborne radiation thermometry technique and Lagrangian currents.

These data indicate Nares Strait Atlantic Intermediate Water and Arctic Basin Polar Water to be derived from Arctic Basin waters via the Canadian Archipelago, whereas the West Greenland Current (WGC) is the source of the comparatively dilute West Greenland Current Atlantic Intermediate Water and West Greenland Current Polar Water fractions. Baffin Bay Surface Water is found seasonally throughout northern Baffin Bay. Recurvature of component branches of the WGC, which attains a maximum baroclinic transport of 0.7 Sv, occurs primarily in Melville Bay (0.2 Sv), south of the Carey Islands (0.1 Sv) and ultimately in Smith Sound (0.2 Sv). The Baffin Current originates as an ice-edge jet in Smith Sound and is augmented by net outflow from Smith, Jones and Lancaster Sounds at rates of 0.3 Sv, 0.3 Sv and 1.1 Sv, respectively. Circulation in Smith, Jones and Lancaster Sounds can be described in terms of the Geostrophic Estuarine Circulation Model. The North Water is caused by the combined influences of near-surface layer enthalpy and mechanical ice removal.

The presence of AAIW north of Madagascar confirmed that this water mass enters the Comoros Basin from the east while the presence of North Atlantic Deep Water showed that this water mass is capable of spreading northward over the Davie Ridge. The main currents in the Comoros Basin, the westward flowing NEMC and a poleward current along the western boundary, are under the influence of the monsoon winds. The NEMC intensifies during the Southwest monsoon in response to a strong wind jet which develops off the northern tip of Madagascar, whereas the poleward current weakens due to the opposing force imposed by the southwesterlies.

Abstract (sommario):

Coral reefs are greatly impacted by the physical characteristics of the water surrounding them. Incidence and severity of mass coral bleaching and mortality events are increasing worldwide due primarily to increased water temperature, but also in response to other stressors. This decline in reef health demands clearer understanding of the compounding effects of multiple stressors, as well as widespread assessment of coral reef health in near-real time. Satellites offer a means by which some of the physical stressors on coral reefs can be measured. The synoptic spatial coverage and high repeat sampling frequency of such instruments allow for a quantity of data unattainable by in situ measurements. Unfortunately, errors in cloudmasking algorithms contaminate satellite derived sea surface temperature (SST) measurements, especially during anomalously cold events. Similarly, benthic interference of satellite-derived reflectance signals has resulted in large errors in derivations of water quality or clarity in coral reef environments. This work provides solutions to these issues for the coral reef environments of the Florida Keys. Specifically, improved SST cloudmasking algorithms were developed for both Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR; Appendix A) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data (Appendix B). Both of these improved algorithms were used to reveal the extent and severity of a January 2010 cold event that resulted in widespread mortality of Florida Keys corals. Applied to SST data from 2010, the improved MODIS cloudmasking algorithm also showed improved quantity of SST retrievals with minimal sacrifice in data quality. Two separate algorithms to derive water clarity from MODIS measurements of optically shallow waters were developed and validated, one focusing on the diffuse downwelling attenuation coefficient (Kd, m-1 ) in visible bands (Appendix C), the other on Kd in the ultraviolet (Appendix D). The former utilized a semi-analytical approach to remove bottom influence, modified from an existing algorithm. The latter relied on empirical relationships between an extensive in situ training dataset and variations in MODIS-derived spectral shape, determined using a stepwise principal components regression. Both of these algorithms showed satisfactory validation statistics, and were used to elucidate spatiotemporal patterns of water clarity in the Florida Keys. Finally, an approach was developed to use Landsat data to detect concurrent MODIS-derived reflectance anomalies with over 90% accuracy (Appendix E). Application of this approach to historical Landsat data allowed for long-term, synoptic assessment of the water environment of the Florida Keys ecosystem. Using this approach, shifts in seagrass density, turbidity increases, black water events, and phytoplankton blooms were detected using Landsat data and corroborated with known environmental events. Many of these satellite data products were combined with in situ reports of coral bleaching to determine the specific environmental parameters individually and synergistically contributing to coral bleaching. As such, SST and visible light penetration were found to be parsimoniously explaining variance in bleaching intensity, as were the interactions between SST, wind and UV penetration. These relationships were subsequently used to create a predictive model for coral bleaching via canonical analysis of principal coordinates. Leave-one-out-cross-validation indicated that this model predicted `severe bleaching' and `no bleaching' conditions with 64% and 60% classification success, respectively, nearly 3 times greater than that predicted by chance. This model also showed improvement over similar models created using only temperature data, further indicating that satellite assessment of coral bleaching based only on SST data can be improved with other environmental data. Future work should further supplement the environmental parameters considered in this research with databases of other coral stressors, as well as improved quantification of the temperature at the depth of corals, in order to gain a more complete understanding of coral bleaching in response to environmental stress. Overall, this dissertation presents five new algorithms to the field of satellite oceanography research. Although validated primarily in the Florida Keys region, most of these algorithms should be directly applicable for use in other coastal environments. Identification of the specific environmental factors contributing to coral bleaching enhances understanding of the interplay between multiple causes of reef decline, while the predictive model for coral bleaching may provide researchers and managers with widespread, near real-time assessments of coral reef health.

Abstract (sommario):

This document reviews the sampling details of the S-MODE (Submesoscale Ocean Dynamics Experiment), a NASA-funded, EVS-3 (Earth Venture Suborbital-3), oceanographic field program. It describes what measurements were collected, when and with what instruments and platforms. For each measurement platform it gives simple plots showing the basic dataset, and describes the sampling in detail. S-MODE in situ and aircraft data are available from the PO.DAAC (Physical Oceanography Distributed Active Archive Center) landing page, and individual datasets are also available at the DOIs listed in the “Data Availability” section of this report.
