Abstract: Evidence for long coastal-trapped waves off the west coast of the United States is obtained from sea level, surface atmospheric pressure and wind records over a 1500 km alongshore separation for two months in the summer ...

Abstract: The dispersion characteristics of stable, discrete, barotropic, continental shelf wave (CSW) modes propagating in a barotropic boundary current are strongly modified by the dynamical effects of nonuniform horizontal shear. ...

Abstract: Kinematic aspects of winter cold fronts in Florida are examined for a subsynoptic scale representing the frontal wind shift at the earth's surface. Fifteen selected cold fronts are studied by using time series of surface ...

Abstract: Interactions between the circulation of Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska, and that of the continental shelf region of the northern Gulf of Alaska are studied numerically. The focus is on the flow structure at Hinchinbrook ...

Abstract: The theory of coastal-trapped waves is extended to include the general features of continuous density stratification, variable bottom topography, and a finite coastal wall. In the limit of a vanishing coastal wall, topographic ...

Abstract: Weekly Gulf Stream paths within 1000 km downstream of Cape Hatteras were obtained for 1975?78 from the Navy's weekly EOFA charts based on satellite IR imagery. They displayed two dominant meander modes: first, a standing ...

Abstract: Thirteen-month records for the period of April 1994?April 1995 from eight (out of nine) Coastal-Marine Automatic Network (C-MAN) stations in south Florida are analyzed statistically to study alongshore variability of ...

Abstract: The skill with which amplitudes of quasi-geostrophic modes can be estimated is important in the analysis and modeling of data from mixed CTD/XBT surveys. Here, several methods for estimation of quasi-geostrophic vertical ...

Abstract: The series of cruises off Northern California comprising OPTOMA11, during two months in summer 1984, were specifically designed as an ocean prediction experiment. In addition to a regional survey from Cape Mendocino to ...
