Abstract: Tidal rectification over a two-dimensional finite-amplitude symmetrical bank is studied using the Blumberg and Mellor primitive equation coastal ocean circulation model (ECOM-si). In the homogeneous case, the nonlinear ...

Abstract: Nearly continuous current measurements at 45 and 75 m were made from May 1975 to March 1979 at 40°51?N, 67°24?W on the southern flank of Georges Bank in water 85 m deep. Measurements at 15 and 84 m were made less often. ...

Abstract: The interannual variation in cold-air outbreak activity over the Japan Sea is investigated using Japan Meteorological Agency buoy 21002 and Quick Scatterometer (QuikSCAT) wind data, Japan Oceanographic Data Center sea ...

Abstract: An experimental method for producing an isolated eddy in a laboratory tank is described, along with the simple viscous theory of the behavior of the eddy in an ordinary cylindrical tank without the ?-effect. The linear ...

Abstract: The mean circulation on the northeast continental shelf in the region of the Gulf of Mexico is discussed in terms of a simple box model, based on volume transports and mean salinities estimated from existing data. The ...

Abstract: Ou (1980, Part 1) presented analytical solutions of free topographic Rossby waves propagating in an infinite wedge filled with a uniformly stratified fluid. We present here in Part 2 a numerical model incorporating more ...

Abstract: A numerical model of the wind-driven transient ocean circulation in the Middle Atlantic Bight is described. The model incorporates realistic topography and covers the continental shelf between the coast and the 200 m isobath ...

Abstract: Tidal rectification over an idealized two-dimensional cross section of Georges Bank, which is a large, shallow, elongated submarine bank in the Gulf of Maine, is studied using a primitive equation coastal ocean circulation ...

Abstract: Based on a limited set of available oxygen isotope measurements, it is hypothesized that the mean now in the Middle Atlantic Bight is part of a 5000 km-long buoyancy-driven, coastal current which originates along the ...

Abstract: An unstructured grid, finite-volume, three-dimensional (3D) primitive equation ocean model has been developed for the study of coastal oceanic and estuarine circulation. The model consists of momentum, continuity, temperature, ...
