RISApplication of Turbulence Energy Models to the Computation of Tidal Currents and Mixing Intensities in Shelf Edge Regions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The major steps in the formulation of a three-dimensional shelf edge model using a sigma coordinate system in the vertical are briefly described. Vertical diffusion of momentum is parameterized using a range of turbulence ...
The Influence of Wind Effects upon Internal Tides in Shelf Edge Regions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interaction of the internal tide with wind-induced currents in the shelf edge region off the west coast of Scotland is studied using a baroclinic shelf edge model. The model is used in cross-shelf form with a horizontal ...
Modeling the Effect of Wave–Current Interaction on the Three-Dimensional Wind-Driven Circulation of the Eastern Irish Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A high-resolution (0.5? north?south by 1.0? west?east) three-dimensional hydrodynamic model of the eastern Irish Sea is used to examine the influence of enhanced bed friction due to wind?wave effects upon the three-dimensional, ...
A Three-Dimensional Baroclinic Model of the Irish Sea: Formation of the Thermal Fronts and Associated Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A high-resolution, three-dimensional baroclinic shelf sea model is developed and applied to the determination of the various processes influencing the generation and position of thermal fronts and the associated circulation ...
The Influence of Wind Direction upon Flow along the West Coast of Britain and in the North Channel of the Irish Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper briefly describes the development of a three-dimensional nonlinear hydrodynamic model of the sea region off the west coast of Scotland, the North Channel, and the Irish Sea. The model uses a sigma coordinate in ...
The Effect of a Bottom Shelf Front upon the Generation and Propagation of Near-Inertial Internal Waves in the Coastal Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A three-dimensional nonlinear baroclinic model in cross-sectional form is used to study the generation and propagation of wind-forced near-inertial internal waves in a coastal region in the presence of a bottom front. ...
Influence of Stratification upon Diurnal Tidal Currents in Shelf Edge Regions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A three-dimensional stratified tidal model of the Hebrides shelf area off the west coast of Scotland is used to examine the spatial distribution of the M2, O1, and K1 tides in the region. The model has a finer horizontal ...
Sensitivity of Tidal Bed Stress Distributions, Near-Bed Currents, Overtides, and Tidal Residuals to Frictional Effects in the Eastern Irish Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A three-dimensional nonlinear high-resolution hydrodynamic model of the eastern Irish Sea is used to examine the influence of near-bed viscosity and bottom friction Upon the M2 tide and overrides in the region. Initially, ...
The Influence of Eddy Viscosity Formulation, Bottom Topography, and Wind Wave Effects upon the Circulation of a Shallow Bay
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A three-dimensional hydrodynamic model taking account of enhanced bed stress due to wave-current interaction is used to examine the wind-induced circulation and flushing time of an idealized homogeneous bay or estuary. The ...
A Detailed Comparison of a Range of Three-Dimensional Models of the M2 Tide in the Faeroe–Shetland Channel and Northern North Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A three-dimensional hydrodynamic model of the Faeroe?Shetland Channel and northern North Sea is used to investigate the spatial variability of M2 tidal elevations and currents in the region. This area is chosen because it ...
