A Numerical Study of Loop Current Eddy Interaction with Topography in the Western Gulf of Mexico
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Anticyclones originating from the Loop Current are known to propagate into the western Gulf of Mexico. Their frequency of generation, their long lifetimes, and satellite data suggest that at any one time one or more eddies ...
A Numerical Study of Eddy Interaction with an Ocean Jet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Gulf Stream rings exhibit a number of propagation tendencies after their release from the current. Among those tendencies identified by observational, analytic, and numerical techniques are ?-induced westward self-propagation, ...
The Interaction of a Two-Layer Isolated Mesoscale Eddy With Bottom Topography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The propagation of an isolated mesoscale eddy onto a western bounding topographic slope is examined through the use of a two-layer, primitive equation, numerical model. Variable parameters in the study are sense of rotation ...
Frost-Free Record Reconstruction for Eastern Massachusetts, 1733–1980
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A reconstruction methodology utilizing such varied documents as diaries, agricultural journals, U.S. Weather Bureau killing frost records and instrumental records is discussed. A resultant 248-year frost record for eastern ...
A Numerical Study of Sea-Breeze-Driven Ocean Poincare Wave Propagation and Mixing near the Critical Latitude
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Near the vicinity of 30° latitude, the coincidence of the period of sea breeze and the inertial period of the ocean leads to a maximum near-inertial ocean response to sea breeze. This produces a propagating inertial internal ...
Impulsively Started Flow in a Submarine Canyon: Comparison of Results from Laboratory and Numerical Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Intercomparisons have been made of results from laboratory experiments and a numerical model for the flow in the vicinity of an idealized submarine canyon located along an otherwise continuous shelf. Motion in the rotating ...
Near-Resonant Ocean Response to Sea Breeze on a Stratified Continental Shelf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The spatial structure and temporal characteristics of sea breeze and the associated coastal ocean response in the northwest Gulf of Mexico are investigated using moored instruments, hydrographic stations, and wind measurements. ...
