A composite time series (1993–2000) of sea surface height anomaly from several satellites
is used to identify eddies in the South China Sea (SCS). The eddy lifetime, radius, strength …

The South China Sea (SCS) summer circulation often has a dipole structure associated with
an eastward jet, appearing off central Vietnam. The dipole has an anticyclonic eddy (AE) …

The Ocean Surface Topography Mission/Jason-2 (OSTM/Jason-2) satellite altimetry mission
was successfully launched on June 20, 2008, as a cooperative mission between CNES …

Adapting state–space models (SSMs) to telemetry data has been helpful for dealing with
location error and for modeling animal movements. We used a combination of two …

Since 1996, global, near-real-time maps of mesoscale anomalies derived from tandem
sampling provided by altimeters aboard the TOPEX/Poseidon and ERS-2 satellites have …

To provide a short-term ocean forecast for sea level variation, current, temperature, and
salinity, an ocean nowcast/forecast system has been developed. The system is an …

A ⅛° global version of the Navy Coastal Ocean Model (NCOM), operational at the Naval
Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO), is used for prediction of sea surface height (SSH) on …

The seasonal variability of South China Sea (SCS) ocean circulation influenced by tropical
cyclones (TCs) is studied by using satellite QuikSCAT wind data, Sverdrup theory, and a …

A 1/8° global version of the Navy Coastal Ocean Model (NCOM) is used for simulation of
upper-ocean quantities on interannual time scales. The model spans the global ocean from …

The unexpected evolution of the first recorded South Atlantic Hurricane Catarina over waters
with homogeneous sea surface temperatures (SST) of 24° C in March 2004 was a challenge …
