A Numerical Study of the Steady Circulation in an Open Bay
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The steady-state circulation in a rectangular bay is studied numerically in a model of homogeneous water and vertical coasts. The competing influences of the surface winds and longshore currants flowing by the open side ...
Numerical Model Studies of the Winter-Storm Response of the West Florida Shelf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The wintertime, wind-driven Ocean circulation on the West Florida Continental Shelf is studied within the framework of a linearized storm-surge model. The model bathymetry incorporates a realistic shelf, extending from New ...
An Analysis of Loop Current Frontal Eddies in a ⅙° Atlantic Ocean Model Simulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Loop Current frontal eddies (LCFEs) refer to cyclonic cold eddies moving downstream along the outside edge of the Loop Current in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. They have been observed by in situ measurements and satellite ...
Calculation of Pressure in Ocean Simulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Many state-of-the-art numerical ocean models calculate pressure using the hydrostatic balance, or an equation derived from it. The proper form of this deceptively simple-looking equation, ?p/?z = ?g?(S, T, p) (where notation ...
