Earth science; Physical oceanography
An instance of the meteorological tsunami phenomenon in Nagasaki Bay.
bulk parameterizations
Earth science; Physical oceanography
In studying air-sea interactions, it is difficult to obtain direct measurements of the surface fluxes, and those that are available are extremely limited in geographic scope. ...
buffer sublayer
Earth science; Physical oceanography
That part of a boundary layer where the viscous stress and the Reynolds stress have the same order of magnitude and the linear velocity profile turns smoothly into the logarithmic ...
cabbeling
Earth science; Physical oceanography
In physical oceanography, a phenomenon that occurs when two water masses with identical densities but different temperatures and salinities mix to form a third water mass with a ...
calcareous ooze
Earth science; Physical oceanography
A fine-grained, deep-sea deposit of pelagic origin containing more than 30% calcium carbonate derived from the skeletal material of various plankton. It is the most extensive ...
diatom ooze
Earth science; Physical oceanography
A soft, siliceous, deep-sea deposit of which more than 30% is composed of silica-rich diatom cell walls. This type of siliceous ooze (another of which is radiolarian ooze) ...
dispersion curve
Earth science; Physical oceanography
A graph showing the dependence of the frequency on the wavenumber for dispersive waves. This is usually created by first using a dispersion relation to obtain frequency/wavenumbers ...
