Upwelling Layers in a Steady, Wind-Driven Stratified Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A theoretical study is made of a region of steady upwelling adjacent to the eastern boundary of a stratified ocean. A multi-layered structure is required to satisfy all the boundary conditions. The velocity and temperature ...
A Theory of Upwelling Over the Shelf Break
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The three-dimensional circulation produced in a homogeneous ocean by a steady wind stress is investigated when the bottom topography contains a discontinuity in gradient, such as occurs at the edge of the continental shelf. ...
A Bottom Current Along the Shelf Break
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The theory of Hill and Johnson for upwelling over the shelf break is modified to give agreement with the work of Killworth. It is shown that when upwelling occurs over a discontinuity in bottom slope, this upwelling does ...
