The Role of a Longshore Pressure Gradient in Pacific Northwest Coastal Dynamics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper we demonstrate the importance of the seasonal barotropic longshore pressure gradient force to Pacific Northwest coastal dynamics. Values of the seasonal longshore pressure gradient corrected for gauge height ...
Explaining Extreme Ocean Conditions Impacting Living Marine Resources

A Sensitivity Study of Reduced-Gravity Channel Flows with Application to the Alborán Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The reduced-gravity response of an hydraulically-forced flow in a rectangular channel is examined numerically. The model parameters were set by observed features of the circulation in the westernmost basin of the Mediterranean ...
A Diagnostic Finite-Element Ocean Circulation Model in Spherical-Polar Coordinates
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A spherical-polar 3D, harmonic-in-time, linear finite-element ocean circulation model that allows for spatially arbitrary forcing by winds, density field, and imposed free-surface elevation along open boundaries is presented. ...
