Abstract: A note of caution is Provided to users of the widely-distributed Cox ocean circulation model. It is shown that the discrete conservation of vorticity equation associated with the finite difference approximations to the ...

Abstract: New computer software that permits more versatility in the harmonic analysis of tidal time series is described and tested. Specific improvements to traditional methods include the analysis of randomly sampled and/or multiyear ...

Abstract: The authors describe a method utilizing short-duration drifter tracks to compute rotary velocity amplitudes and phases for tidal frequency bands. These are compared to amplitudes and phases from a tidal model, revealing ...

Abstract: Tidal constants are computed from TOPEX/Poseidon sea level data in the northeast Pacific Ocean for the period of September 1992?December 1997. The method used is harmonic analysis. Tidal constituents are also calculated ...

Abstract: Internal M2 tides near Hawaii are investigated with a two-dimensional, two-layer numerical model. It is seen that along the Hawaiian Ridge barotropic tidal energy is transformed into baroclinic internal tides that propagate ...
