Abstract: The rectification of M2 tidal currents on the sloping sides of Georges Bank is predicted to make an important year-round contribution to its observed mean clockwise circulation. A rectification mechanism involving continuity ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the energetics of the internal waves generated by the tide on the northern edge of Georges Bank in the outer Gulf of Maine?-a region of strong tidal flow, a density/temperature front, and abrupt ...

Abstract: Two approaches to the quantitative characterization of Lagrangian circulation in three-dimensional (3D) time-periodic current fields are used to describe major features of a model-derived flow field for barotropic tidal ...

Abstract: The scalar flux due to small amplitude waves that exhibit a preferred sense of rotation or polarization is shown to consist of a component. FS, that is skewed, being everywhere orthogonal to the mean scalar gradient, ?Q. ...

Abstract: s part of a broader study of ocean downscaling, the seasonal and tidal variability of the Gulf of Maine and Scotian shelf, and their dynamical interaction, are investigated using a high-resolution (1/36°) circulation model. ...

Abstract: The barotropic M2 tide over the Newfoundland and southern Labrador Shelves and adjacent deep ocean is studied using a linear harmonic finite-element model and a newly developed direct inverse method for data assimilation. ...

Abstract: The climatological seasonal-mean hydrography and circulation in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and on the eastern Scotian and southern Newfoundland shelves are studied by reconstructing high-resolution temperature, salinity, and ...

Abstract: The response of the Gulf of Maine region to steady, spatially uniform wind stress is examined using a linearized numerical model, with the influence of the strong tidal currents in the region included in the bottom stress ...

Abstract: A realistic representation of 3D seasonal circulation and hydrography on the western and central Scotian Shelf has been obtained from historical observations and a combination of diagnostic and prognostic numerical models ...
