Abstract: Lee wave generation and horizontal flow separation in stratified flow along a slope, with corrugations or a ridge running directly downslope, are explored using analytical and numerical methods. Both of these processes are ...

Abstract: The structure of baroclinic vortices generated by horizontal flow separation past a sloping headland in deep, stably stratified waters is investigated. The most distinctive feature of these eddies is that their cores are ...

Abstract: AbstractA theoretical model is developed to describe how autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV)-based current measurements are influenced by a surface wave field. The model quantifies a quasi-Lagrangian, wave-induced velocity ...

Abstract: Observational and model estimates of the form drag on Three Tree Point, a headland located in a tidal channel of Puget Sound, Washington, are presented. Subsurface, Three Tree Point is a sloping ridge. Tidal flow over this ...

Abstract: Barotropic tidal currents flowing over rough topography may be slowed by two bottom boundary?related processes: tangential stress of the bottom boundary layer, which is generally well represented by a quadratic drag law, ...

Abstract: AbstractThe cross-shore evolution of nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) from 8-m depth to shore was observed by a dense thermistor array and ADCP. Isotherm oscillations spanned much of the water column at a variety of periods. ...

Abstract: AbstractWe examine temporal variability of thermally driven baroclinic cross-shore exchange in the context of a tropical fringing reef system focusing on the role of tidally driven alongshore flow. Ensemble diurnal phase ...

Abstract: Design and analysis are presented for a new device to test the response of endothelial cells to the simultaneous action of cyclic shear stresses and pressure fluctuations. The design consists of four pulsatile-flow chambers ...
