Abstract: Wind waves are commonly ignored when modeling the ice motion in the marginal ice zone. In order to estimate the importance of the wave forcing, an expression for the second-order wave-induced drift force on a floe exposed ...

Abstract: During August 1991, a field program was carried out in the vicinity of Cape St. James, off the British Columbia coast, where a strong tidally driven flow interacts with an active wave climate. Surface current maps were ...

Abstract: A data-adaptive technique, the iterative maximum likelihood method, is used to estimate directional wave spectra from data collected by three pitch-and-roll buoys, during two turning wind events of the CASP 86 experiment. ...

Abstract: The effect of nonlinear coupling due to resonant interactions on a bimodal spectrum is examined in the case of deep-water waves. Following Hasselmann, a swell decay time scale is first estimated for a monochromatic swell ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional prognostic numerical model has been developed to study the ocean circulation around Vancouver Island, British Columbia. In a series of simulations, the model is applied to examine the role of buoyancy ...

Abstract: A series of numerical experiments with a three-dimensional, baroclinic model were conducted to study the influences of density stratification and wind-driven currents on the K1 tide over the continental shelf off Vancouver ...
