Abstract: The summer circulation in the South Atlantic Bight is investigated using a two-layer finite element model. Simulations using a steady state mean summer wind field lead to the following conclusions. (i) the adjustment time ...

Abstract: An extensive amount of work has been carried out to characterize the flow on the shelf between Cape Canaveral and Cape Hatteras. Data show that the winter flow in this region is driven mainly by tides and wind, while ...

Abstract: A vertically integrated two-dimensional model has been adapted for the study of the wind-driven flow on the South Atlantic Bight (SAB) shelf during the winter season. Wind data are used as an input to the model and current ...

Abstract: Subtidal current and sea level response to wind and Gulf Stream forcing are investigated for the South Atlantic Bight shelf during winter conditions. Low-frequency flow variability in the outer shelf results primarily from ...
