Abstract: The possibility of reproducing the complexity of tides in shallow water areas with a classical finite difference numerical model is examined. This hydrodynamic model is two-dimensional but incorporates topography, nonlinear ...

Abstract: A new sea level observation network initiated by the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) program is delivering hourly data from about 150 ocean stations worldwide. A complete analysis of these data was performed using ...

Abstract: This numerical experiment aims to investigate the dynamical effects of the vertical convection of waters, occurring in regions where the cooling of the upper ocean is due to periodical, local, rough winter atmospheric ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the tridimensional consistency of the resolution of eddy scales in simulating large-scale flows. The generation of classical wind-forced, eddy-driven double-gyre circulation is investigated with a ...

Abstract: An improved version of the global hydrodynamic tide solutions [finite element solutions (FESs) FES94, FES95.2.1, and FES98] has been developed, implemented, and validated. The new model is based on the resolution of the ...
