The Energetics and Tidally Induced Reverse Renewal in a Two-Silled Fjord
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A laterally integrated, two-dimensional numerical model is used to examine the influence of the M2 tide on the circulation in the Saguenay Fjord, a two-silled fjord (with a ?large? inner and a ?small? outer basin) located ...
Modeling the Dynamics of the North Water Polynya Ice Bridge
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The North Water polynya, the largest polynya in the world, forms annually and recurrently in Smith Sound in northern Baffin Bay. Its formation is governed in part by the formation of an ice bridge in the narrow channel of ...
Vorticity Waves over Strong Topography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analytical solutions are found for topographic waves propagating over step bottom slopes in a two-layer infinite channel. From the inviscid unforced long-wave equation for a two-layer fluid on an f-plane, it is shown, under ...
Modeling Wind-Driven Circulation and Landfast Ice-Edge Processes during Polynya Events in Northern Baffin Bay
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A high-resolution sea ice?ocean numerical model of the North Water polynya has been developed to study the wind-driven circulation during polynya events. An idealized three-layer stratified ocean is used to initialize the ...
