Bottom-trapped Subinertial Motions over Midocean Ridges in a Stratified Rotating Fluid
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Linear analytical solutions for bottom-trapped subinertial oscillatory flow over simple ridge topographies in a stratified (two-layer) rotating fluid are presented. Results are compared to moored current meter observations ...
The Impact of Locally Enhanced Vertical Diffusivity on the Cross-Shelf Transport of Tracers Induced by a Submarine Canyon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The exchanges of water, nutrients, and oxygen between the coastal and open ocean are key components of on-shelf nutrient budgets and biogeochemical cycles. On a regional scale, submarine canyons enhance physical processes ...
Hydraulic Physical Modeling and Observations of a Severe Gap Wind
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Strong gap winds in Howe Sound, British Columbia, are simulated using a small-scale physical model. Model results are presented and compared with observations recorded in Howe Sound during a severe gap wind event in December ...
