Abstract: Spatial variations of vertical turbulent mixing along a stretch of the Hudson River estuary are examined with focus on the vicinity of a ?hydraulic control point? at the George Washington Bridge at which the cross section ...

Abstract: Turbulent mixing in the water column was observed with a microstructure profiler in the Hudson River estuary during two cruises in summer and fall 1995. The focus is on the estimation of turbulent salt flux and turbulent ...

Abstract: Variations of turbulent mixing in the water column and in the benthic boundary layer were observed with a microstructure profiler in the Hudson River estuary during two cruises in summer and fall of 1995. Variability ...

Abstract: A new simple two-equation turbulence closure is constructed by hypothesizing that there is an extra energy sink in the turbulent kinetic energy (k) equation representing the transfer of energy from k to internal waves and ...

Abstract: South of the Strait of Bab el Mandeb, saline Red Sea Water flows downslope into the Gulf of Aden mainly along the narrow 130-km-long ?Northern Channel? (NC) and the shorter and wider ?Southern Channel? (SC). In the NC, the ...

Abstract: Turbulence in the Red Sea outflow plume in the western Gulf of Aden was observed with an upward-looking, five-beam, 600-kHz acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). The ?Bottom Lander? ADCP was deployed on the seafloor ...

Abstract: A diurnal cycle in temperature and vertical displacement variance has been observed in the stratified region below the surface mixed layer using moored time-series data at 0°, 140°W for there periods: November 1984, April ...

Abstract: A four and one-half day time series of upper-ocean shear and density observations was collected in the tropical Pacific Ocean in November 1984. The measurements were made on the equator at 139°50?W during a period when the ...
