Abstract: Coastal currents are investigated by use of asymptotic solutions in a steady-state barotropic lake or shallow sea of variable depth, with only vertical eddy viscosity and zero Rossby number. Earlier work has been extended ...

Abstract: Steady-state wind-driven circulations in a basin of variable depth, with only vertical turbulent mixing, are considered. The geostrophic flow away from the coast is determined for an arbitrary bottom topography consisting ...

Abstract: By solving an initial value problem, the time-dependent response of a large circular model lake to a steady wind stress has been investigated. Bottom stress has been neglected. The forced response has been divided naturally ...

Abstract: A numerical model of time-dependent wind-driven currents in Lakes Michigan and Huron is investigated. The dynamical model is for a homogeneous lake involving only vertical turbulent mixing. After reduction from 3 to 2 space ...

Abstract: The response of a combined global zonal-averaged energy balance model and a continental ice-sheet model to insulation anomalies produced by orbital perturbations is examined. Although the role of ice sheet dynamics is ...
