1. Myrl in the early1980s: Advice on Observations from a Theoretician Kathie Kelly Applied Physics Laboratory University of Washington PhD 1983

2. There’s life outside of Berkeley?

3. Introduction to Scripps

4. Introduction to Myrl Hendershott  Upbeat  Respect  Enthusiastic about science  Accept “strays”

5. First Year Instruction

6. Research

7. Infrared images of the California Current Is it really the ocean?

8. Lesson #1: Advising Students  Don’t be too available Strategies for finding Myrl or solve the problem yourself  Provide plenty of moral support Corollary: Let someone else do the serious criticism (Russ?)

9. “It looks real, so assume it is”

10. Infrared images of the California Current

11. Lesson #2: Analyzing Observations  Focus on understanding processes Corollary: let someone else “ground truth” the data  Don’t micromanage the research Corollary: “go ask Russ or Bob Parker”  Vicarious enjoyment of results If you can’t lick ‘em, join ‘em, Gulf of California

12. Seasonal Cycle of the California Current follows wind stress curl Core of wind jet moves offshore, expanding region of positive curl and upwelling -- current core moves offshore with curl Edwards and Kelly, JPO

13. JASON-1 in space Radar altimeter launched August 2002

14. Passing the torch at WHOI Sarah Gille

15. A complicated genealogy Frederic Vivier Myrl Hendershott Rick Salmon Kathie Kelly Christine Provost (LODYC)

16. Surface heatingColumn stretching Coefficient of thermal expansion Net surface heat flux Wind stress curl Rossby wave speed Sea surface height from TOPEX/Poseidon altimeter

17. Processes Contributing to Sea Level Anomalies in the Pacific Ocean (a) Seasonal Heating (c) Ekman pumping(d) Sverdrup response (b) Rossby waves Vivier, Kelly, and Thompson, JGR, 1999

18. Continuing on at UW Shenfu Dong currently: ChuanLi Jiang

19. Gulf Stream Gyre Expansion/Contraction and the Upper Ocean Heat Budget Dong and Kelly, 2004 JPO sea surface height
