Abstract: Spatial correlations for sea level pressures, during the Canadian Atlantic Storms Program of January-April 1986, were computed. We initially modeled these correlations using isotropic negative squared exponential, and ...

Abstract: A model is developed for the response of waves to turning wind, which we denote as the fetch relaxation model. Comparison is presented with the standard ? relaxation model pioneered by Hasselmann et al. The fetch relaxation ...

Abstract: Field experiments, in the years since the JONSWAP results, have established fetch- and duration-limited relations for wave parameters such as total energy E0, peak frequency fp, and the Phillips α coefficient. The Canadian ...

Abstract: The Green's function for a semi-infinite ocean with depth a function of distance from the boundary is developed numerically for the M2 frequency and with Coriolis frequency and depth profile appropriate to the continental ...

Abstract: We present the variation that results when fetch relations for wind-generated wave spectra are sealed by the friction velocity component in the dominant wave direction rather than the magnitude of the friction velocity, ...

Abstract: A simple model in which the cross-strait sea surface slope is geostrophically balanced and the along-strait slope is balanced by acceleration and friction, is shown to be supported by the results of Buchwald and Miles for ...

Abstract: We present an analysis of 84 days of current meter, sea level and hydrographic data collected in the Strait of Belle Isle, a long, narrow strait which connects the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Along-strait ...
