Analysis of Supercritical Stratified Tidal Flow in a Scottish Fjord
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The baroclinic tidal regime of the fjord Loch Etive (Scotland) is studied. Analysis is performed on the basis of both in situ data and numerical simulations, with the use of a fully nonlinear nonhydrostatic fine-resolution ...
Systematic Bias in Baroclinic Energy Estimates in Shelf Seas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: simple model of an internal wave advected by an oscillating barotropic flow suggests flaws in standard approaches to estimating properties of the internal tide. When the M2 barotropic tidal current amplitude is of similar ...
A Simple Shelf Circulation Model: Intrusion of Atlantic Water on the West Spitsbergen Shelf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: arotropic flow along depth contours is found in accordance with standard geostrophic theory. A numerical model is developed that studies the deviation from such a flow. The model gives a good approximation of the dynamical ...
Measurement of the Rates of Production and Dissipation of Turbulent Kinetic Energy in an Energetic Tidal Flow: Red Wharf Bay Revisited
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simultaneous measurements of the rates of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) dissipation (ε) and production (P) have been made over a period of 24 h at a tidally energetic site in the northern Irish Sea in water of 25-m depth. ...
Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program: A New International Ocean Observing System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: or decades oceanographers have understood the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) to be primarily driven by changes in the production of deep-water formation in the subpolar and subarctic North Atlantic. ...
