Abstract: Wave friction factors are estimated from vertical profiles of near-bed turbulence and horizontal velocity spanning the wave bottom boundary layer. Measured values are partitioned by bed state, which ranged from irregular ...

Abstract: Theoretical solutions for the wave bottom boundary layer (WBL) over a sloping bed are compared with field measurements in the nearshore zone. The WBL theory is constructed using both viscoelastic?diffusion and conventional ...

Abstract: A pulse-to-pulse coherent acoustic Doppler profiler has been developed for high-resolution particle velocimetry in the ocean, in particular for remote measurements of suspended sediment flux and turbulence in the nearshore ...

Abstract: Current meter and CTD data are presented, describing a dense bottom current which transports Labrador Current Water into Fortune Bay, Newfoundland. The effects of rotation and friction are discussed and the three-dimensional ...

Abstract: new formula is derived for the asymptotic form of the magnitude of an autocorrelation coefficient for coherent Doppler sonar. The autocorrelation magnitude is shown to be a biased estimator in the limit of infinite ensemble ...

Abstract: AbstractSpectral and structure function methods are implemented to compute the dissipation rate ε from broadband, diverging-beam acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) data collected at four sites in a high-flow tidal ...

Abstract: oherent Doppler sonar is a useful tool for noninvasive measurement of ocean currents, sediment transport, and turbulence in coastal environments. Various methods have been proposed to separately address two of its inherent ...

Abstract: An extreme weather event (Hurricane Juan) made landfall in Nova Scotia, Canada, in September 2003. The storm produced an ?70-cm storm surge and ?40 cm s?1 coastal currents in Lunenburg Bay, registered by a coastal observing ...
