Fully Modified Iv, Give And Gmm Estimation With Possibly Non-Stationary Regressions And Instruments, Yuichi Kitamura, Peter C.B. Phillips

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper develops a general theory of instrumental variables (IV) estimation that allows for both I(1) and I(0) regressors and instruments. The estimation techniques involve an extension of the fully modified (FM) regression procedure that was introduced in earlier work by Phillips-Hansen (1990). FM versions of the generalized instrumental variable estimation (GIVE) method and the generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator are developed. In models with both stationary and nonstationary components, the FM-GIVE and FM-GMM techniques provide efficiency gains over FM-IV in the estimation of the stationary components of a model that has both stationary and nonstationary regressors. The paper …

Emergence Of Fofonoff States In Inviscid And Viscous Ocean Circulation Models, Jian Wang, Geoffrey K. Vallis

Journal of Marine Research

Numerical experiments are performed to directly test the emergence of the Fofonoff solution in an inviscid closed barotropic domain, and to explore its significance to the weakly dissipative system. The Fofonoff solution, characterized by a linear relationship between absolute vorticity and streamfunction, is generally realized as the time mean state of inviscid simulations over a fairly broad parameter range of varying (β-plane) Rossby number and resolution, in different geometrical domains, and with and without topography. The relevance of the Fofonoff solution to the viscous, decaying system is examined by numerical experiments with two different forms of viscosity, namely, biharmonic and …

Effects Of Finite Scales Of Turbulence On Dispersion Estimates, Enrico Zambianchi, Annalisa Griffa

Journal of Marine Research

The eddy-diffusion parameterization of turbulent transport is based on the assumption, often questionable for geophysical flows, of infinitesimal scales of turbulence. In this paper we quantitatively compute what are the consequences of this assumption on the estimates of dispersion for some simple flows with oceanographical scales. We compare the analytical results of two different models, one with infinitesimal turbulent time scale (corresponding to a model with eddy-diffusion) and the other with finite scale T. The difference between the two model results normalized with respect to the estimate of the eddy-diffusion model, called Δ, is computed and it is used …

Bottom Water Variability In The Samoa Passage, Gregory C. Johnson, Daniel L. Rudnick, Bruce A. Taft

Journal of Marine Research

The Samoa Passage (near 10S, 170W) is the channel through which the coldest, saltiest, densest bottom water approaches the North Pacific Ocean from its southern source. Over the past 25 years, three hydrographic sections have been made across the passage. A section occupied in 1968 shows little sign of modified North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) within the northward flowing Lower Circumpolar Water (LCPW). In contrast, a section occupied in 1987 shows a strong negative curvature in -S (potential temperature-salinity) and a local maximum in salinity characteristic of NADW. A third section occupied in 1992 reveals a marginal NADW signature. …

The Sedimentary Mn Cycle In Long Island Sound: Its Role As Intermediate Oxidant And The Influence Of Bioturbation, O2,And Corg Flux On Diagenetic Reaction Balances, Robert C. Aller

Journal of Marine Research

The potential importance of sedimentary Mn as a secondary oxidant and redox intermediate between O₂ and C_org is often discounted in nearshore sediments. Study of the Mn cycle at 19 stations in Long Island Sound (LIS) demonstrates that sedimentary Mn can be a significant redox intermediate, accounting in many cases for 30–50% of the benthic O₂ flux (annual mean ≈40 ± 35%). At some sites and times, the import of solid oxidant as Mn in suspended matter is also apparently greater than the dissolved O₂ flux to the bottom. The relative importance of the Mn cycle …

Spring And Winter Water Mass Composition In The Brazil-Malvinas Confluence, Keitapu Maamaatuaiahutapu, Véronique C. Garçon, Christine Provost, Mostefa Boulahdid, Alejandro A. Bianchi

Journal of Marine Research

Hydrographic data of the Confluence 1 cruise collected during austral spring (November 1988) have been analyzed to estimate relative mixing proportions of the various water masses of the Brazil-Malvinas Confluence region using a multiparameter analysis. Seven source water types (SWT) are identified in this region, and all are retained for the analysis: Thermocline Water (TW), Subantarctic Surface Water (SASW), Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW), Upper Circumpolar Deep Water (UCDW), North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW), Lower Circumpolar Deep Water (LCDW) and Weddell Sea Deep Water (WSDW). Tracers selected are temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen and nutrients. Mixing proportions are quantified and plotted along …

Contrasting Effects Of Substrate Mobility On Infaunal Assemblages Inhabiting Two High-Energy Settings On Fieberling Guyot, Lisa A. Levin, Elana L. Leithold, Thomas F. Gross, Cynthia L. Huggett, Claudio Dibacco

Journal of Marine Research

The influence of seamount-intensified flows on the structure of infaunal assemblages was examined at two sand-covered sites located 2.3 km apart atop the summit plain of Fieberling Guyot (32°27.6′N 127° 48.0′W). Both sites experience strong, tidal bottom currents with flows exceeding 20 cm/s on a daily basis (4 mab). Estimates of shear velocity (u_*) did not differ significantly between the two sites. However, differences in sediment composition and density produced different sediment transport regimes at the two sites. At Sea Pen Rim (SPR), located on the NW perimeter (635 m), sedimentary particles were composed primarily of basaltic …

Parameter Space Exploration Of An Ocean General Circulation Model Using An Isopycnal Mixing Parameterization, William A. Gough, William J. Welch

Journal of Marine Research

In this study we have employed statistical methods to efficiently design experiments and analyze output of an ocean general circulation model that uses an isopycnal mixing parameterization. Full ranges of seven inputs are explored using 51 numerical experiments. Fifteen of the cases fail to reach satisfactory equilibria. These are attributable to numerical limitations specific to the isopycnal model. Statistical approximating functions are evaluated using the remaining cases to determine the dependency of each of the six scalar outputs on the inputs. With the exception of one output, the approximating functions perform well. Known sensitivities, particularly the importance of diapycnal (vertical) …

Generalized Two-Layer Models Of Ocean Circulation, Rick Salmon

Journal of Marine Research

The assumption that surfaces of constant temperature and potential vorticity coincide leads to an exact, time-dependent reduction of the ideal thermocline equations in an ocean basin of arbitrary shape. After modifications to include forcing, dissipation, and the presence of the equator, these reduced equations form the basis for numerical models that are both more realistic and easier to solve than the conventional two-layer model.

A Proposed Flux Constraint For Salt Fingers In Shear, Eric Kunze

Journal of Marine Research

Towed ocean microstructure observations reveal that the temperature Cox number depends inversely on interface temperature-gradient T_z in the fingering-favorable thermohaline staircase east of Barbados. This implies fluxes independent of interface gradients. These conclusions are contrary to theoretical expectations from a finger Froude number stability criterion, |Δw|/N < 1.0: (i) Cox numbers independent of temperature gradient, and (ii) fluxes varying linearly with temperature gradient. We propose a hybrid wave/finger Froude number stability criterion, |(u_z − w_x)(w_y − v_z)|N² ≤ 1.0 which reduces to U_z|V_w|/N² ≤ 1.0 for salt sheets (δ/δx = 0, | Δw| = w_y) aligned with background (internal-wave) shear U_z. …

Currents Under Land-Fast Ice In The Canadian Arctic Archipelago Part 2: Vertical Mixing, R. F. Marsden, R. G. Ingram, L. Legendre

Journal of Marine Research

During an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) study of the velocity field under land-fast ice, coincident CTD casts showed three instances of pronounced instability in the water column, immediately above and below the pycnocline. In this paper we demonstrate that the density inversions are associated with the passage of high frequency linear internal waves and finite amplitude waves. Contours of ADCP acoustic return intensity display pronounced vertical eddy-like features which may indicate overturning. A Richardson number calculation showed that even the most highly stratified portion of the pycnocline had sufficient vertical velocity shear to promote dynamic instability. Finally, we calculate …

Currents Under Land-Fast Ice In The Canadian Arctic Archipelago Part 1: Vertical Velocities, R. F. Marsden, R. Paquet, R. G. Ingram

Journal of Marine Research

A 614 kHz acoustic Doppler current profiler was deployed through land-fast ice in Resolute Passage, in the Canadian Archipelago for 30 days in April and May 1992. It was demonstrated that in the mean, at tidal and at high frequencies the instrument was stable and aligned within 0.5° of vertical, permitting unambiguous measurement of the horizontal, and more importantly, the vertical velocity structure. The flow was dominated by tidal and high frequency (15 min period) oscillations. The K₁ and M₂ tidal currents were both approximately 10.0 cm s⁻¹, oriented along-channel. The K₁ component was constant …
