Wind–Current Coupling on the Southern Flank of Georges Bank: Variation with Season and Frequency
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Comparison of several years of current observations on the southern flank of Georges Bank with nearby wind data shows that the wind?current coupling is primarily between longshelf wind stress and longshelf current. The ...
Alongshore Wind Forcing of Coastal Sea Level as a Function of Frequency
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The amplitude of the frequency response function between coastal alongshore wind stress and adjusted sea level anomalies along the west coast of the United States increases linearly as a function of the logarithm (log10) ...
On the Longshelf Structure and Dynamics of Subtidal Currents on the Eastern United States Continental Shelf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Strong correlations were observed among subtidal longshelf currents from the Middle Atlantic Bight (MAB) to the Georges Bank region, a distance spanning 615 km. The longshelf current consisted predominantly of wind-forced ...
Observations of Strong Mid-Pacific Internal Tides above Horizon Guyot
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Large semidiurnal current and isotherm oscillations were observed by one current meter continuously for 9 months in the waters above Horizon Guyot, a seamount located in the central Pacific. The M2 tides dominated the ...
An Upper Bound for the Tidally Rectified Current at One Location on the Southern Flank of Georges Bank
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Long-term current observations at 45 and 75 m at one location on the southern flank of Georges Bank in water 85 m deep were examined for evidence of tidal rectification. Loder has shown analytically that rectification of ...
