Abstract: This paper describes a novel numerical technique that exploits the method of bicharacteristics to allow small fronts to he included in numerical layer models of the ocean. The approach treats a front as a free boundary and ...

Abstract: A mathematical model that describes the formation and dilution of a frontally bounded river plume is presented. Such features were first studied at the mouth of the Connecticut River during periods of high discharge and ...

Abstract: With an analytic model, this paper describes the subtidal circulation in tidally dominated channels of different lengths, with arbitrary lateral depth variations. The focus is on an important parameter associated with the ...

Abstract: Drogued floats have been widely used to develop information about the Lagrangian structure of ocean circulation. However, the degree to which the various designs actually follow water parcels has been the subject of ...

Abstract: The small-scale structure of the circulation and hydrography at the frontal boundary of the Connecticut River plume in Long Island Sound has been resolved using a novel combination of instruments: a towed acoustic Doppler ...
