Abstract: A barotropic numerical model of the Arctic Ocean is formulated to include irregular basin shape, variable bathymetry, lateral friction, bottom drag, and nonlinear advection terms. Source-sink distributions around the ...

Abstract: A nonlinear, two-layer model of pressure-induced surges at the ocean edge is developed. The bottom topography is taken to approximate the continental shelf and continental slope region. The Coriolis parameter is held ...

Abstract: A finite-element solution technique is introduced to develop current patterns subject to geostrophic and Ekman dynamics for an irregular continental shelf region. The interpolation bases set of functions uses triangular ...

Abstract: The Bering Slope Current flows from southeast to northwest across the Aleutian Basin of the Bering Sea, parallel to the continental slope of the eastern Bering Sea shelf. The water mass characteristics and distributions ...
