RISAcross-Shelf Transport on a Continental Shelf: Do Across-Shelf Winds Matter?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Wind-forced across-shelf flow on a continental shelf is often described as a two-dimensional balance between flow within a surface boundary layer generated by alongshelf winds and a compensating subsurface flow. Typically, ...
Three-Dimensional Flow in a Shallow Coastal Upwelling Zone: Alongshore Convergence and Divergence on the New Jersey Shelf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Alongshore flow field divergence is investigated on the inner shelf off the coast of New Jersey during the summer upwelling season of 1996. Velocities obtained from an array of moorings are used to examine the flow field. ...
A Simple Model for Coastal Sea Level Prediction
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Reliable forecasting of wind-forced coastal sea level on the synoptic scale is available for most of the coastal areas of the United States through the National Weather Service Extratropical Storm Surge Model (ESSM). ...
The Dynamics of the East Australian Current System: The Tasman Front, the East Auckland Current, and the East Cape Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dynamics of the flow field surrounding New Zealand are investigated using a series of global ocean models. The physical mechanisms governing the direction, magnitude, and location of the East Australian Current (EAC), ...
Remote Topographic Forcing of a Baroclinic Western Boundary Current: An Explanation for the Southland Current and the Pathway of the Subtropical Front East of New Zealand
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Southland Current is a western boundary current adjacent to the South Island of New Zealand and flows along a segment of the Southern Hemisphere subtropical front (STF). The physical mechanisms that govern the behavior ...
