Properties of Flow within the Coastal Boundary Layer off Long Island, New York
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Properties of flow within the nearshore waters off the southern coast of Long Island are established by statistical analysis of data from a moored current meter array and by concurrent hydrographic information. ...
Near-Surface Measurements of Quasi-Lagrangian Velocities in Open Water
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Near-surface water velocities have been measured in the coastal zone of Lake Huron and Cape Cod Bay by tracking drifters and drogues using acoustic travel time and compass sighting techniques. The near-surface current, ...
Evaluation and Recommendations for Improving the Accuracy of an Inexpensive Water Temperature Logger
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nset's HOBO U22 Water Temp Pros are small, reliable, relatively inexpensive, self-contained temperature loggers that are widely used in studies of oceans, lakes, and streams. An in-house temperature bath calibration of 158 ...
Coral Reef Drag Coefficients—Surface Gravity Wave Enhancement
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA primary challenge in modeling flow over shallow coral reefs is accurately characterizing the bottom drag. Previous studies over continental shelves and sandy beaches suggest surface gravity waves should enhance ...
Coral Reef Drag Coefficients – Water Depth Dependence
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: major challenge in modeling the circulation over coral reefs is uncertainty in the drag coefficient because existing estimates span two orders of magnitude. Current and pressure measurements from five coral reefs are used ...
