Steady Wind-driven Upwelling in the Presence of a Baroclinic Coastally Trapped Jet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The usual two-layer model for steady wind-driven upwelling along a uniform coastline is extended to incorporate the effects of an upper-layer jet trapped against the coast. The characteristic width of the jet is the internal ...
A Two-Layer Model of Shelfbreak Jets with Application to the Labrador Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The role played by bottom friction, bottom slope, ? effect, and density mixing in exchange between the shelf and a frontal jet is examined in the light of a two-layer model. The model uses linear dynamics and bottom and ...
Laboratory Measurements of Coarse Sediment Bedload Transport Velocity Using a Prototype Wideband Coherent Doppler Profiler (MFDop)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: prototype wideband coherent Doppler profiler (MFDop) was tested for measuring bedload velocity of different gravel and coarse-sand-sized fractions (d = 1?32 mm) in the laboratory. The sediment was spread out on a smooth-surface ...
A Self-Contained Sector-Scanning Sonar for Bottom Roughness Observations as Part of Sediment Transport Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Studies and models of sediment transport in the bottom boundary layer require knowledge of the bottom roughness as a parameter affecting the suspension and transport of sediment. Knowledge of this has often been quite ...
