The Summertime Heat Budget and Circulation of Southeast New England Shelf Waters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A modeling study of summer ocean circulation on the inner shelf south of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, has been conducted. The influences of winds, air?sea heat fluxes, tides, and shelfwide circulation are all incorporated. The ...
The Effect of Wind on the Dispersal of the Hudson River Plume
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dispersal of the Hudson River plume in response to idealized wind forcing is studied using a three-dimensional model. The model domain includes the Hudson River and its estuary, with a realistic coastline and bottom ...
Scattering of Continental Shelf Waves at a Discontinuity in Shelf Width
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analytical solution is presented for the scattering of a free shelf wave incident upon a discontinuity in shelf width in a barotropic ocean. The discussion of solutions relying on backscattered free-waves with large ...
Scattering of Coastal-Trapped Waves by Irregularities in Coastline and Topography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The scattering of freely-propapting coastal-trapped waves (CTWs) by large variations in coastline and topography is studied using a numerical model which accomodates arbitrary density stratification, bathymetry and coastline. ...
Modeling the Pathways and Mean Dynamics of River Plume Dispersal in the New York Bight
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study investigates the dispersal of the Hudson River outflow across the New York Bight and the adjacent inner- through midshelf region. Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) simulations were used to examine the mean ...
Simulation of Water Age and Residence Time in New York Bight
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The time scales on which river inflows disperse in the coastal ocean are relevant to a host of biogeochemical and environmental processes. These time scales are examined in a modeling study of the Hudson River plume on its ...
Breaking Surface Wave Effects on River Plume Dynamics during Upwelling-Favorable Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study examines the dynamics of a buoyant river plume in upwelling-favorable winds, concentrating on the time after separation from the coast. A set of idealized numerical simulations is used to examine the effects of ...
Pacific Ocean Heat Transport at 24°N in a High-Resolution Global Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Meridional heat transport in the North Pacific Ocean in a seasonally forced high-resolution global ocean general circulation model is compared to observations. At 24°N, annual mean heat transport in the model of 0.37?1011W ...
An Adjoint Sensitivity Study of Buoyancy- and Wind-Driven Circulation on the New Jersey Inner Shelf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Adjoint sensitivity analysis is used to study the New York Bight circulation for three idealized situations: an unforced buoyant river plume, and upwelling and downwelling wind forcing. A derivation of adjoint sensitivity ...
