Abstract: A pair of gravity waves propagating at oblique angles along the sea-ice interface in a viscous, rotating ocean is studied theoretically. The motion is described by a Lagrangian formulation. Two theoretical models of the ...

Abstract: A theoretical model for the near-surface velocity profile in the presence of breaking waves is presented. Momentum is accumulated by growing waves and is released upon wave breaking. In effect, such a transition is a process ...

Abstract: A theoretical nonlinear model for wind- and wave-induced currents in a viscous, rotating ocean is developed. The analysis is based on a Lagrangian description of motion. The nonlinear drift problem is formulated such that ...

Abstract: Generation and propagation of eddies in the coastal regions of the eastern Gulf of Alaska are examined based on ouput from a numerical ocean model. Results from a 1/8° six-layer isopycnal, wind-forced Pacific basin model ...
