RISThe Interaction of Tides with the Sill of a Tidally Energetic Inlet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interaction of the tides with the sill of a tidally energetic inlet, Observatory Inlet, British Columbia, is studied. Because of temporal variations in the stratification of the inlet, a substantial seasonal variation ...
Some Aspects of the Internal Tide in Knight Inlet, British Columbia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The interaction of the tides with the sill of Knight Inlet, a fjord located on the coast of British Columbia, is investigated. The seasonal variation in the stratification of the inlet causes a large seasonal variation in ...
Simulation of the Wind-Forced Near-Surface Circulation in Knight Inlet: A Parameterization of the Roughness Length
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Month-long observations of along-channel velocity made close to the surface of Knight Inlet are used with a numerical model to estimate the roughness length z0 on the water side of the air?sea interface. In analogy with a ...
On the Mellor–Yamada Turbulence Closure Scheme: The Surface Boundary Condition for q2
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
The Energetics and Tidally Induced Reverse Renewal in a Two-Silled Fjord
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A laterally integrated, two-dimensional numerical model is used to examine the influence of the M2 tide on the circulation in the Saguenay Fjord, a two-silled fjord (with a ?large? inner and a ?small? outer basin) located ...
Dependence of Currents and Density on the Spring–Neap Cycle and the Diurnal Inequality in Burrard Inlet, British Columbia: Simulations and Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of the circulation in a hole near a constriction in Burrard Inlet are simulated using a two-dimensional (i.e., laterally integrated) numerical model. The model uses a level-2 version of the Mellor?Yamada ...
Energy Fluxes due to the Surface and Internal Tides in Knight Inlet, British Columbia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A laterally integrated (two dimensional) nonlinear numerical model is used to examine the flux of M2 tidal energy in Knight Inlet. The simulated flux of tidal energy into the inlet is somewhat smaller than that estimated ...
On Deep-Water Renewals in Indian Arm, British Columbia: Sensitivity to the Production of Turbulent Kinetic Energy Caused by Horizontal Variations in the Flow Field
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A two-dimensional (i.e., laterally averaged) numerical model of the circulation in Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm near British Columbia, Canada, is used to examine the sensitivity of deep-water renewal events in Indian Arm ...
The Time-Dependent Hydraulic Flow and Dissipation over the Still of Observatory Inlet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The time-dependent hydraulic flow over the sill of a tidally energetic fjord, Observatory Inlet, British Columbia, is studied. Acoustic observations of streamlines and velocity were made near the sill crest during the ...
Rossby Waves and the Variability of the North Pacific Current during 2002–03
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: numerical model, the Parallel Ocean Program (POP), with 0.25° horizontal spatial resolution and 28 vertical levels is used to simulate the circulation of the North Pacific Ocean for the time period 1960?2006. Spectral ...
