Abstract: The effect of the Transantarctic Mountains on cyclonically forced boundary-layer winds in the vicinity of Ross Island, Antarctica (77.5°S, 167°E), is discussed. When cyclones are present over the western Ross Ice Shelf and ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a possible explanation for the mean cyclonic circulation in large stratified lakes The condition of no heat flux through the bottom boundary causes the isotherms to dip near the shores to intersect the ...

Abstract: This article has two purposes. The first is to describe how the Great Lakes Coastal Forecasting System (GLCFS) can be used to validate wind forecasts for the Great Lakes using observed and forecast water levels. The second ...

Abstract: Two three-dimensional primitive equation numerical ocean models are applied to the problem of internal Kelvin waves and coastal upwelling in the Great Lakes. One is the Princeton Ocean Model (POM) with a terrain-following ...
