Abstract: From current meter and satellite data, an unusual pattern of movement of the Gaspe Current was identified on two occasions in the summer of 1978. On the first occasion, the axis of the current moved offshore and the deep ...

Abstract: CTD data obtained from three transects across a controlled quasi-permanent density front in the Gulf of St. Lawrence were analyzed for the purpose of investigating cross-front mixing, mechanisms for frontal convergence, ...

Abstract: The interannual variations of volume transport in the western Labrador Sea are estimated using six years of TOPEX/Poseidon altimeter data and hydrographic data from a WOCE repeat section and a method based on the linear ...

Abstract: Current meter data for six mouths from the Grand Bank are analyzed to study inertial currents generated by moving storms. It is found that during periods of strong winds, but no well-defined storm system, the inertial ...

Abstract: We show that in the presence of a randomly perturbed stability frequency, a coherent internal wave (f<σ<N0) or gyroscopic wave (N0<σ<f) is always attenuated in the direction of energy propagation, where σ and f denote ...

Abstract: TOPEX/Poseidon (T/P) altimeter data over the period 1992?98 have been analyzed to examine annual variability of sea surface elevation and currents over the Scotian Shelf and Slope. A modified orthogonal response analysis ...

Abstract: The barotropic response of the Labrador and Newfoundland shelves to a moving storm over the Labrador Sea is investigated using a linear barotropic ocean model with realistic coastline and topography. The model results show ...

Abstract: he authors investigate the interannual variations of freshwater content (FWC) and sea surface height (SSH) in the Beaufort Sea, particularly their increases during 2004?09, using a coupled ice?ocean model (CIOM), adapted ...

Abstract: Ocean models usually estimate surface currents without explicit modeling of the ocean waves. To consider the impact of waves on surface currents, here a wave model is used in a modified Ekman layer model, which is imbedded ...
