Wave-Driven Circulation of a Coastal Reef–Lagoon System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The response of the circulation of a coral reef system in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, to incident wave forcing was investigated using field data collected during a 10-month experiment. Results from the study revealed that wave ...
Wave Setup over a Fringing Reef with Large Bottom Roughness
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he effect of bottom roughness on setup dynamics was investigated using high-resolution observations across a laboratory fringing reef profile with roughness elements scaled to mimic the frictional wave dissipation of a ...
Dynamics of Wave Setup over a Steeply Sloping Fringing Reef
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: igh-resolution observations from a 55-m-long wave flume were used to investigate the dynamics of wave setup over a steeply sloping reef profile with a bathymetry representative of many fringing coral reefs. The 16 runs ...
Internal-Tide Spectroscopy and Prediction in the Timor Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: pectral analyses of two 3.5-yr mooring records from the Timor Sea quantified the coherence of mode-0 (surface) and mode-1 (internal) tides with the astronomical tidal potential. The noncoherent tides had well-defined ...
Free and Forced Components of Shoaling Long Waves in the Absence of Short-Wave Breaking
