Abstract: The dynamics of tidal flow through inlets are not fully understood; observations are scarce because of the small spatial scales over which the flow varies. This paper gives the first detailed measurements of the 2D structure ...

Abstract: Storms crossing topography are shown to radiate long surface gravity waves. The waves are transients generated by changes in the depth-dependent amplitude of the atmospherically forced pressure wave beneath a storm. This ...

Abstract: Intuitively, the transport of an oscillating flow in a short channel should be constrained to be approximately the same at all cross sections; that is, the transport is nondivergent. This intuitive constraint is quantified ...

Abstract: The phase of the M2 surface elevation tide changes by 100° along a 40-km length of Cook Strait, New Zealand. Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler measurements are presented that show a change of only 12° in the phase of ...

Abstract: Wavelet and cross-wavelet power spectra of sea level records from tide gauges along the Atlantic coast of Canada showed a low-frequency barotropic response after Hurricane Florence crossed the Newfoundland shelf in September ...

Abstract: In this note we study the effect of an alongshore density gradient in driving the near-coastal circulation and determining the direction of the alongshore flow. We revisit and extend the results obtained by Malanotte-Rizzoli ...

Abstract: pplying a two-dimensional (2D) divergence-free (DF) interpolation to a one-person deployable unmanned underwater vehicle?s (UUV) noisy moving-vessel acoustic Doppler current profiler (MV-ADCP) measurements improves the ...
