The intOA Experiment: A Study of Ocean-Atmosphere Interactions Under Moderate to Strong Offshore Winds and Opposing Swell Conditions in the Gulf of Tehuantepec, Mexico

Abstract: The Gulf of Tehuantepec air-sea interaction experiment (intOA) took place from February to April 2005, under the Programme for the Study of the Gulf of Tehuantepec (PEGoT, Spanish acronym for Programa para el Estudio del Golfo de Tehuantepec). PEGoT is underway aiming for better knowledge of the effect of strong and persistent offshore winds on coastal waters and their natural resources, as well as performing advanced numerical modelling of the wave and surface current fields. One of the goals of the intOA exp… Show more

“…This paper presents an analysis of wavelength scaling for the ocean surface friction coefficient in mixed seas using the data from the field experiment of the Gulf of Tehuantepec air-sea interaction experiment (IntOA) from 22 February to 24 April 2005(García-Nava et al 2009Ocampo-Torres et al 2011). Section 2 describes the wavelength scaling similarity relation of ocean surface friction coefficient and the application to field data.…”

“…The highest wind waves occurred during the strongest Tehuano winds, and the highest significant wave height was about 2.5 m at 20 m s -1 wind speed in association with fetch-limited growth (Fig. 2, see also Ocampo-Torres et al (2011).…”

“…While wind-waves are normally aligned with the local wind, the local wind direction is not always correlated with the swell direction. Sometimes winds can completely oppose the swell field and this is known to give rise to interesting situations with increased turbulence levels over the sea surface [3]. We choose to study cases where the wind is aligned to the wind field and opposing the wind field, and compare these to a control run over a flat surface.…”
