Abstract: A 3D hydrodynamic model [Regional Ocean Model System (ROMS)] is used to investigate how axial wind influences stratification and to explore the associated longitudinal salt transport in partially mixed estuaries. The model ...

Abstract: he spatiotemporal variability of wind stress dynamics in Chesapeake Bay has been investigated using a combination of observations and numerical modeling. Direct measurements of momentum and surface heat fluxes were collected ...

Abstract: Air?sea fluxes of momentum and heat were measured simultaneously with surface wind waves and near-surface currents in mid Chesapeake Bay during summer 1998 under low wind conditions. The data were collected using a Gill ...

Abstract: AbstractObservations of turbulent kinetic energy, dissipation, and turbulent stress were collected in the middle reaches of Chesapeake Bay and were used to assess second-moment closure predictions of turbulence generated ...

Abstract: easurements made as part of a large-scale experiment to examine wind-driven circulation and mixing in Chesapeake Bay demonstrate that circulations consistent with Langmuir circulation play an important role in surface ...

Abstract: AbstractThe role of surface gravity waves in structuring the air?sea momentum flux is examined in the middle reaches of Chesapeake Bay. Observed wave spectra showed that wave direction in Chesapeake Bay is strongly correlated ...
