singular vector
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Singular vectors are the perturbations that, under dynamics linearized about a basic flow state, grow most rapidly over a given time interval and in a given measure of amplitude, ...
Louisiana–Texas Experiment (LATEX)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Sponsored by the MMS of the Department of the Interior. LATEX was a six–year project with the principal objective of identifying the key dynamical processes governing the ...
systematic errors
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Stable errors in model simulations that result from model deficiencies in the component (e.g ocean and atmosphere) models alone, additive errors from the component models after ...
statistically robust
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Statistical results which are relatively insensitive to the presence of a moderate amount of bad data or to inadequacies in the statistical model being used, and that react ...
uncentered statistics
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Statistics that retain information on the spatially-averaged changes in the fields being compared, i.e. the spatial-mean components are not subtracted so as to compare only the ...
Reynolds stresses
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Stress terms obtained by transforming the equations of motion into the Reynolds equations. They are so–called in analogy to the terms in the original motion equations involving ...
recirculating gyre
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Strong opposing flow elements adjacent to western boundary currents, e.g. the Gulf Stream in the upper ocean and the deep western boundary current in the deep water of the North ...
