Abstract: Many aspects Of the low-frequency response of a stratified inlet have not been previously observed because of the lack of simultaneous observations of runoff, wind, currents, and density over the entire body of water. ...

Abstract: A numerical model that uses a level-2½ turbulence closure scheme is used to compare two boundary conditions for the turbulent energy at the air?sea interface. One boundary condition, the most commonly used, sets the turbulent ...

Abstract: The energy budget of a tidally active, shallow silled fjord is discussed. Constriction of the flow over the shallow sill causes a reduction in tidal amplitude and a phase lag across the sill. A generalized expression for ...

Abstract: During spring 1988 (a period of low freshwater runoff) and summer 1989 (a period of high freshwater runoff), month-long observations of velocity, temperature, and salinity were made throughout the water column in Knight ...

Abstract: An examination of the spectrum of winds along the Oregon coast shows a major diurnal peak at a period of 24 hr and a small microscale peak at about 50 s. The 24-hr peak is thought to be associated with the diurnal variation ...

Abstract: A description of the low-frequency (ap;10 to 30 days period) current fluctuations in the Strait of Georgia is presented. Velocity time series from four cyclesonde moorings and five current meter mooring, spanning the time ...
