Abstract: A simple nonlinear model of the generation of Kelvin waves is presented and applied to internal Kelvin waves in Lake Michigan. It is shown that a Kelvin wave which has a wavelength longer than the Rossby radius of deformation ...

Abstract: Two time-dependent ?vertical cross section models? are analyzed and applied to wind-driven currents in Lake Ontario. The models are: 1) a linear frictionless, two-level model, and 2) a numerical model which includes both ...

Abstract: Observations of Lake Ontario during the International Field Year for the Great Lakes are used to develop a. three-dimensional numerical model for calculating temperature and current. The model has a variable grid resolution ...

Abstract: A two-layer circular lake model is used to study the mean flow of Lake Ontario during midsummer. By computing the model only to the second order of amplitude, it is shown that the observed cyclonic circulation of Lake ...

Abstract: An empirical forced wave model of currents and thermocline displacements in the coastal zone of Lake Ontario is derived from data from the International Field Year for the Great Lakes (1972). The model consists of three ...

Abstract: The effects of horizontal shear of the mean zonal wind on the lateral propagation of disturbances through the Tropics is studied by the use of a one-layer model. The governing equations are reduced to a second-order ...

Abstract: The rectified flow induced by wind-driven internal seiches in a rotating lake is studied. Friction and nonlinearity combine to generate a secondary mean flow which is calculated analytically for the case of a uniform depth ...

Abstract: We compare results from a simple parametric, dynamical, deep-water wave prediction model with two sets of measured wave height maps of Lake Michigan. The measurements were made with an airborne laser altimeter under two ...
