Abstract: Detailed observation of drogue movements within 800 m of a straight shoreline indicates the primary current generated by local winds to be directed within a few degrees of parallel to the shore nearly independently of wind ...

Abstract: Analysis of two month-long current records, one in February and one in May, from the inner shelf (28.9°N) west of the Mississippi River delta show strong oscillations in the diurnal-inertial frequency band. Lack of correlation ...

Abstract: Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler velocity measurements in the Bab al Mandab during the period June 1995?March 1996 are used to assess the hydraulic character of the exchange flow. The strait is 150 km long and contains ...

Abstract: The continuous dynamical modes of the exchange flow in the Bab al Mandab are computed in an attempt to assess the hydraulic character of the flow at the sill. First, an extended version of the Taylor?Goldstein equation for ...
