Abstract: Volume transport fluctuations of the Florida Current (Gulf Stream), generated within the Straits of Florida by local meridional wind stress, are investigated. A simple coastal response model was applied to the Straits of ...

Abstract: The summer circulation in the South Atlantic Bight is investigated using a two-layer finite element model. Simulations using a steady state mean summer wind field lead to the following conclusions. (i) the adjustment time ...

Abstract: Current measurements with five repeated moored arrays were carried out from April 1982 to June 1984 across the Florida Current between West Palm Beach and Grand Bahama Island; a reduced sixth array was continued until June ...

Abstract: The Galt (1975) diagnostic model was used to investigate summer circulation on the Georgia shelf. The steady-state model uses a finite-element method to solve the depth-integrated vorticity equation for sea surface elevation ...

Abstract: An extensive amount of work has been carried out to characterize the flow on the shelf between Cape Canaveral and Cape Hatteras. Data show that the winter flow in this region is driven mainly by tides and wind, while ...

Abstract: A vertically integrated two-dimensional model has been adapted for the study of the wind-driven flow on the South Atlantic Bight (SAB) shelf during the winter season. Wind data are used as an input to the model and current ...

Abstract: A linear relationship exists between sea level and the north component of the depth-averaged tidal velocity in the Straits of Florida. This relationship is used as a one-dimensional model to predict barotropic tidal currents ...

Abstract: During April 1987 to June 1988, a four-mooring, transport-resolving current meter array was deployed in a section extending 70 km eastward from Abaco, Bahamas, at 26.5°N. Mean currents in the upper layer (≤800 m) showed a ...

Abstract: A 4.3-month-long dataset from moorings on the continental shelf off South Carolina during 1986 showed unusual midrecord shifts in bottom pressure, temperature, stratification, and alongshelf currents. The Gulf Stream moved ...
