On the Effect of Bottom Friction on Barotropic Motion Over the Continental Shelf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of the velocity fields over the continental shelf and slope off Oregon and off Peru have shown that there is a phase difference in the onshore-offshore direction, with the velocity fluctuations nearshore leading ...
A Study of Low-Frequency Fluctuations Near the Peru Coast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analysis is presented of low-frequency (<0.4 cpd) fluctuations in currents, temperature and tide gage data collected during the March-September 1976 segment of the CUEA JOINT-II experiment off the coast of Peru. The ...
Interaction of a Slope Eddy with the Shelfbreak Front in the Middle Atlantic Bight
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Spring conditions at the shelf break in the Middle Atlantic Bight mark the transition period between the generally well-mixed shelf water in winter and the highly stratified shelf conditions during summer. A high-resolution ...
Observations of the Coastal Upwelling Region near 34°30′N of California: Spring 1981
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Coordinated meteorological and oceanographic (CTD) measurements were made near Point Conception, California, during March?April 1981. The goal of the observations was to study coastal upwelling and the local characteristics ...
The Nantucket Shoals Flux Experiment (NSFE79). Part I: A Basic Description of the Current and Temperature Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Nantucket Shoals Flux Experiment (NSFE79) was conducted across the continental shelf and upper slope south of Nantucket from March 1979 to April 1980 to study the flow of shelf water from the Georges Bank/Gulf of Maine ...
