Convectively Driven Mixing in the Bottom Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Closely spaced vertical profiles through the bottom boundary layer over a sloping continental shelf during relaxation from coastal upwelling reveal structure that is consistent with convectively driven mixing. Parcels of ...
Incoherent Nature of M2 Internal Tides at the Hawaiian Ridge
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: oored current, temperature, and conductivity measurements are used to study the temporal variability of M2 internal tide generation above the Kaena Ridge, between the Hawaiian islands of Oahu and Kauai. The energy conversion ...
Energetics of M2 Barotropic-to-Baroclinic Tidal Conversion at the Hawaiian Islands
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A high-resolution primitive equation model simulation is used to form an energy budget for the principal semidiurnal tide (M2) over a region of the Hawaiian Ridge from Niihau to Maui. This region includes the Kaena Ridge, ...
A Modeling Study of the Three-Dimensional Continental Shelf Circulation off Oregon. Part I: Model–Data Comparisons
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sixty-day simulations of the subinertial continental shelf circulation off Oregon are performed for a hindcast study of summer 1999. Model results are compared with in situ currents, high-frequency radar?derived surface ...
