Abstract: The three-dimensional tidal circulation in an elongated basin of arbitrary depth is described with a linear, constant-density model on the f plane. Rotation fundamentally alters the lateral flow, introducing a lateral ...

Abstract: Coastal downwelling events, induced by tropical storms which travel up along the coast, occur regularly during the summer over the shelf of Southern California. Large vertical velocities (0.5 cm s?1) are observed over the ...

Abstract: The three-dimensional residual circulation driven by tides in an elongated basin of arbitrary depth is described with a small amplitude, constant density model on the f plane. The inclusion of rotation fundamentally alters ...

Abstract: The wind-driven circulation in lakes, lagoons, estuaries, or coastal embayments is described with a linear, steady, three-dimensional barotropic model in an elongated basin of arbitrary depth distribution, on an f plane. ...

Abstract: Local velocities and the trajectories of fluid parcels forced by wind blowing over a continental shelf, in the vicinity of a headland, are described with a linear, steady, three-dimensional barotropic model. The dynamical ...

Abstract: The three-dimensional tidal circulation in an elongated basin of arbitrary depth is described with a coupled barotropic and baroclinic two-layer model on the f plane. As long as friction is not dominant, near-standing waves ...

Abstract: Synthetic subsurface pressure (SSP) can be formed from tide gauge records and from bottom pressure measurements to provide a consistent and convenient basis for comparison of these two different types of observations. ...

Abstract: A comparison of sea surface temperatures is made between aircraft precision radiation thermometer (PRT-5) and aircraft deployed expendable bathythermographs (AXBT) drops. These observations were obtained using the NCAR ...

Abstract: Long time series of atmospheric parameters and limited oceanographic parameters such as near-surface temperature and wave statistics have been available for some time. There is, however, a need for similar observations of ...
