Abstract: The semidiurnal tidal currents associated with the near-resonant response of the Gulf of Maine-Bay of Fundy system are amplified over the relatively shallow depths of Georges Bank, thus leading to enhanced energy dissipation, ...

Abstract: The annual evolution of the geostrophic flow structure in the Gulf of Maine was studied with a combined set of moored pressure time-series measurements and five hydrographic surveys from August 1986 through September 1987. ...

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: A Method for inferring an area-averaged bottom stress and energy dissipation rate in a tidal estuarine channel is presented. The one-dimensional continuity and momentum relations are developed using simplifying assumptions ...

Abstract: Geophysical signals are often intermittent, having statistics which vary with time. Optimal sampling of these signals requires a so-called ?conditional sampling? scheme, a technique which changes the sampling program to ...

Abstract: The Nantucket Shoals Flux Experiment (NSFE) was a collaborative effort to measure the alongshelf transport of mass, heat, salt and nutrients from March 1979 through April 1980 with a dense army consisting of moored current, ...

Abstract: In this work, Pratt and Stern?s quasigeostrophic, 1½-layer, infinite jet model is connected to a western boundary by a system of two converging boundary currents. The model has a piecewise constant potential vorticity ...
