Abstract: Physical processes that control the episodic cross-frontal transport over the inner shelf of the South Atlantic Bight were examined using a 3D primitive turbulent closure equation model. The model results showed that ...

Abstract: Tidal rectification over a two-dimensional finite-amplitude symmetrical bank is studied using the Blumberg and Mellor primitive equation coastal ocean circulation model (ECOM-si). In the homogeneous case, the nonlinear ...

Abstract: Tidal rectification over an idealized two-dimensional cross section of Georges Bank, which is a large, shallow, elongated submarine bank in the Gulf of Maine, is studied using a primitive equation coastal ocean circulation ...

Abstract: An unstructured grid, finite-volume, three-dimensional (3D) primitive equation ocean model has been developed for the study of coastal oceanic and estuarine circulation. The model consists of momentum, continuity, temperature, ...

Abstract: The formation and evolution of the Keweenaw Current in Lake Superior were examined using a nonorthogonal-coordinate primitive equation numerical model. The model was initialized by the monthly averaged temperaturefield ...

Abstract: An analysis of the water level and current data taken in Qiongzhou Strait in the South China Sea (SCS) over the last 37 years (1963 to 1999) was made to examine the characteristics of tidal waves and residual flow through ...

Abstract: The fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?NCAR Mesoscale Model (MM5) is applied to the Gulf of Maine/Georges Bank (GoM/GB) region. This model is configured with two numerical domains with horizontal resolutions ...
