Abstract: A quasi-linear prognostic numerical model has been used to study the three-dimensional baroclinic circulation in the Gulf of Maine region, with a focus on the buoyancy-driven circulation in the inner basins and near the ...

Abstract: Coastal sea level fluctuations in Onslow Bay are selectively coupled with local atmospheric forcing variables. The coupling is strongest in period bands of 2.5?3.5 and ?10 days, which span absolute zero group speed, ...

Abstract: During long deployment periods, it is desirable to communicate remotely with moored or drifting instruments. In addition to providing access to the data set as it is collected, a telemetry capability provides insurance ...

Abstract: The eastern United States continental margin is naturally divided by Cape Hatteras into the Middle and South Atlantic Bights. The margin depth profile is relatively uniform throughout the Middle Atlantic Bight, but in the ...

Abstract: In August 1980, Hurricane Allen passed over a moored array of instruments recording current, temperature and conductivity in the western Gulf of Mexico. An alongshore surge occurred during the storm passage, with the ...

Abstract: The dispersion characteristics of stable, discrete, barotropic, continental shelf wave (CSW) modes propagating in a barotropic boundary current are strongly modified by the dynamical effects of nonuniform horizontal shear. ...

Abstract: Experiences with two prototype telemetry systems developed for potential use with moored or drifting ocean instruments are described. The systems transfer data and commands between remote and base stations using direct ...

Abstract: Gulf Stream fluctuations observed over the 200 and 400 m isobaths off Onslow Bay, North Carolina have a prominent weekly time scale. The principal fluctuations observed during the 4-month winter experiment are consistent ...
