Abstract: Numerical simulations of upstream propagating disturbances generated through the interaction of an inviscid, nearly two-layer flow past a two-dimensional obstacle are discussed. The experimental configuration is an appropriate ...

Abstract: A quasi-geostrophic regional model of the northeast Pacific is used to investigate the effects of bottom topography and seasonal wind forcing on the circulation of the Alaskan Gyre. In a numerical experiment with a flat ...

Abstract: The time-dependent response of upstream undular bores and internal hydraulic jumps from initial formation to eventual release is documented. Two events, characterized by qualitatively different responses, are discussed. ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional prognostic numerical model has been developed to study the ocean circulation around Vancouver Island, British Columbia. In a series of simulations, the model is applied to examine the role of buoyancy ...

Abstract: Velocity measurements from the interior of the Alaskan gyre are presented from a current meter mooring deployed in 4000 m of water at 49°33?N, 138°38?W, in the vicinity of Ocean Weather Station P. The mooring held five ...

Abstract: The tidal response of northern British Columbia coastal waters is studied through simulations with a three-dimensional, prognostic, primitive equation model. The model is forced at the boundaries with the leading semidiurnal ...

Abstract: Low-frequency variability of the depth of the main pycnocline at Ocean Weather Station P and over the northeast Pacific is examined in terms of the one-dimensional response to local Ekman pumping according to the Hasselmann ...

Abstract: A limited-area quasi-geostrophic numerical model with mesoscale resolution is developed to study the circulation in the northeast (NE) Pacific Ocean. The model domain extends from the British Columbia-Alaska coast out to ...
