Abstract: A group of ten sub-surface drogues were released in a cluster in the epilimnion 15 km offshore near Oshawa, Lake Ontario, and the subsequent drift and horizontal spread were followed for 72 h using the radar/decca navigation ...

Abstract: Based on the turbulent entrainment hypothesis of Morton et al. and the eddy diffusivity hypothesis, approximate theories have been developed for the rise of a buoyant chimney plume in the atmospheric boundary layer, ...

Abstract: Experimental data on the diffusion of fluorescent dye patches were obtained in Lake Ontario, to study large-scale horizontal diffusion characteristics. In each experiment, a slug of water-soluble rhodamine dye solution was ...

Abstract: Observations of currents across a nearshore zone from 2 to 6 km offshore indicate that unsteady longshore flow and complete reversals in flow are usually accompanied by large values of lateral shear. These values often ...

Abstract: Experimental data were obtained in Lake Huron on the distribution of mean concentration and meansquare fluctuation about the center of gravity of a diffusing plume of fluorescent dye. Some of the mean concentration profiles ...

Abstract: Properties of the nearshore flow have been observed in some detail in Douglas Point, Lake Huron. Time series flow data obtained from a network of current meters deployed in a coastal chain perpendicular to the local shoreline ...

Abstract: Simultaneous measurements of Eulerian and Lagrangian currents along the north shore of Lake Ontario are analyzed to provide the mean flow properties and horizontal turbulent exchange characteristics in the coastal boundary ...

Abstract: The recently developed wavelet transform, conventional spectral, and empirical orthogonal function decompositions have been applied to the vertical temperature profiles characterized with an isolated upwelling event and ...

Abstract: A generalized statistical model is proposed to determine the probability density function of the concentration history measured at a fixed point in the wake of a continuous point source in coastal currents. An application ...
