Abstract: The time evolution of an estuary plume and its coastal front over a continental shelf is numerically calculated here using a three-dimensional model with eddy mixing based on the turbulence kinetic energy closure. The plume ...

Abstract: The present paper describes a one-dimensional unsteady model of the ocean surface mixed layer. Themodel somewhat resembles the approach of Munk and Anderson in that the differential equations for meanvelocity and temperature ...

Abstract: Much has been written of the error in computing the horizontal pressure gradient associated with sigma coordinates in ocean or atmospheric numerical models. There also exists the concept of ?hydrostatic inconsistency? ...

Abstract: In a recent paper by Mellor et al., it was found that, in two-dimensional (x, z) applications with finite horizontal viscosity and zero diffusivity, the velocity error, associated with the evaluation of horizontal density ...

Abstract: Rotational effects on turbulence structure and mixing are investigated using a second-moment closure model. Both explicit and implicit Coriolis terms are considered. A general criterion for rotational effects to be small ...
