Abstract: Onslow Bay, North Carolina, is repeatedly flushed by intrusions of Gulf Stream water. An exponential dilution model based on intrusion models indicates 20?60 days are required for 50% dilution of Bay waters.

Abstract: The subtidal frequency response of sea level to atmospheric forcing along the coastal region between Cape Hatteras and Charleston is investigated for a four-month period: 1 September-31 December, 1974. It is found that ...

Abstract: The effects of surface buoyancy flux. atmospheric wind stress and bottom topography on the horizontal and vertical structure of the density and alongshore velocity fields over a continental shelf are investigated within ...

Abstract: The effect of the isobathic curvature on the development and evolution of Gulf Stream frontal waves (meanders and eddies) in the vicinity of the Charleston Bump (a topographic rise on the upper slope off Charleston, South ...

Abstract: The problem of a small-amplitude wave propagating over a flat porous bed is reanalyzed subject to the bottom boundary conditionwhere u represents the horizontal velocity in the fluid,?s represents the horizontal velocity ...

Abstract: A linear, two-dimensional model of a rotating, stratified fluid is constructed to investigate the circulation induced by a moving, localized line of surface stress. This model is used to analyze the effect of moving cold ...

Abstract: A model for the scattering of a continental shelf wave by a small, isolated and smooth topographic irregularity is developed. It is found that a wave of frequency ?, incident on a bump of a sufficiently small horizontal ...

Abstract: Midlatitude cyclones develop off the Carolinas during winters and move north producing gale-force winds, ice, and heavy snow. It is believed that boundary-layer and air-sea interaction processes are very important during ...
