Abstract: Data collected during the Canadian Atlantic Storms Program (CASP) suggest that two primary current regimes exist on the Scotian Shelf during winter. Moorings inside the 100-m isobath feature currents that are parallel to ...

Abstract: A linear, barotropic numerical model that features realistic bathymetry of the Scotian Shelf provides solutions forced by steady and periodic wind stress that are generally incoherent on spatial scales of the shelf width. ...

Abstract: The use of land based wind data in nearshore oceanographic work is common, but these winds do not accurately reflect coastal oceanic winds. Ocean winds are often underestimated by a factor of 2 and directional differences ...

Abstract: Because of relatively strong tidal currants and little notification, the response of continental shelf water to wired off South Carolina is predominantly frictional and barotropic. Currents measured at the 10, 30 and 40 m ...
