Laboratory Experiments on the Interaction of a Buoyant Coastal Current with a Canyon: Application to the East Greenland Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents a set of laboratory experiments focused on how a buoyant coastal current flowing over a sloping bottom interacts with a canyon and what controls the separation, if any, of the current from the upstream ...
Is the Faroe Bank Channel Overflow Hydraulically Controlled?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The overflow of dense water from the Nordic Seas through the Faroe Bank Channel (FBC) has attributes suggesting hydraulic control?primarily an asymmetry across the sill reminiscent of flow over a dam. However, this aspect ...
A Model Study of the Salish Sea Estuarine Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: realistic hindcast simulation of the Salish Sea, which encompasses the estuarine systems of Puget Sound, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the Strait of Georgia, is described for the year 2006. The model shows moderate skill ...
Modeling Turbulent Subglacial Meltwater Plumes: Implications for Fjord-Scale Buoyancy-Driven Circulation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: jord-scale circulation forced by rising turbulent plumes of subglacial meltwater has been identified as one possible mechanism of oceanic heat transfer to marine-terminating outlet glaciers. This study uses buoyant plume ...
