Abstract: Analysis of the wind and current data for Alberni Inlet demonstrates the strongly wind-dependent nature of the surface currents, especially at the diurnal frequency. In contrast, the response of the surface layer thickness ...

Abstract: Observations are described in an experiment undertaken to determine the response of a stratified inlet to changing conditions of wind, tide and runoff. Time series of conductivity profiles taken in Alberni Inlet, British ...

Abstract: A single nonlinear internal wave tracked more than 100 wavelengths across Oregon?s continental shelf over a 12-h period exhibited nearly constant wave speed, c = 0.75 m s?1, and amplitude, a = 15 m. The wavelength L gradually ...

Abstract: Concurrent measurements of the rate of dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy and the void fraction and size distribution of near-surface bubbles are described. Relatively high dissipation rates and void fractions are ...

Abstract: Detailed observations of the structure within internal solitary waves propagating shoreward over Oregon's continental shelf reveal the evolving nature of interfaces as they become unstable and break, creating turbulent ...
