Abstract: Current meter records and hydrographic data taken in the Denmark Strait overflow during a one-month experiment in August-September 1973 are analyzed. Mean conditions indicate that a strong, cold overflow current existed ...

Abstract: Long-term measurements off southwest Nova Scotia reveal the following features of the mean circulation: (a) a westward longshore coastal current (4?10 cm s?1, (b) an anticyclonic gyre around Brown Bank (5?15 cm s?1, and ...

Abstract: Low-frequency current measurements near the shelf break south of Nova Scotia indicate that the presence of topographic waves on the continental slope, and rise is associated with large-scale shoreward excursions and formation ...

Abstract: Records of current, temperature and salinity from a two-year mooring program at the shelf break off Nova Scotia are examined to determine the low-frequency oceanic responses to the driving surface wind field and fluctuating ...

Abstract: Using a multiple regression technique that includes both tidal and wind forcings, the tidally-induced residual current can be estimated from current meter records. However, the estimated mean (long-term averaged) tidally ...

Abstract: Bursts of topographic-Rossby-wave energy have been observed in data recorded by an array of current meters moored on the outer continental shelf and slope off Nova Scotia north of the Gulf Stream. The waves persist for ...

Abstract: The waters off Cape Sable in southwestern Nova Scotia have anomalously low temperatures and high nutrients during summer. Using a three-dimensional tidal model as well as field observations obtained between 1978 and 1985, ...

Abstract: The climatological seasonal-mean hydrography and circulation in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and on the eastern Scotian and southern Newfoundland shelves are studied by reconstructing high-resolution temperature, salinity, and ...

Abstract: The response of the Gulf of Maine region to steady, spatially uniform wind stress is examined using a linearized numerical model, with the influence of the strong tidal currents in the region included in the bottom stress ...
