Isabel's Silent Partners: Seasonal And Secular Sea Level Change, J. D. Boon Jan 2005

Isabel's Silent Partners: Seasonal And Secular Sea Level Change, J. D. Boon

VIMS Books and Book Chapters

Tidal conditions fail to explain a paradoxical similarity in water level extremes induced by Hurricane Isabel on 18 September 2003, and the 23 August 1933 storm of record at Hampton Roads, Virginia. Storm surge peaks occurred near astronomical high tide during both storms, but Isabel arrived during neap tides while tides during the 1933 storm were nearer to spring. In addition, Isabel produced a lesser storm surge, yet she yielded a storm tide, or high-water mark, roughly equal to that of the 1933 hurricane. The answer to the paradox lies in observed sea level—water level measured relative to the land—and …

Comparison Of Simultaneous Na Lidar And Mesospherictemperature Mapper Measurements And The Effects Of Tides On The Emission Layer Heights, Y. Zhao, Michael J. Taylor, X. Chu Jan 2005

Comparison Of Simultaneous Na Lidar And Mesospherictemperature Mapper Measurements And The Effects Of Tides On The Emission Layer Heights, Y. Zhao, Michael J. Taylor, X. Chu

All Physics Faculty Publications

A detailed comparative study of two new mesospheric temperature data sets, measured by different remote-sensing techniques, has been performed as part of a long-term investigation of low-latitude mesospheric dynamics. Coincident observations using the University of Illinois Na wind/temperature lidar and the Utah State University CEDAR Mesospheric Temperature Mapper (MTM) were conducted from the summit of Haleakala Crater, Maui, Hawaii (20.8°N, 156.2°W, ∼3000 m) as part of the Maui-MALT program. High-quality joint measurements were obtained during four lidar campaign periods, and 16 nights of data, spanning the interval January 2002 to October 2003, are presented here as example observations during each …
