Abstract: During the trade wind season, the wind over the western Coral Sea is highly coherent over very long distances (at least 1000 km). At any site, the wind direction changes little with time, while the wind speed varies with ...

Abstract: A simple closed-form analytical solution of a classical coastal upwelling is found in terms of two-dimensional baroclinic waves trapped in a two-layer ocean on a steep continental slope and forced by the wind-driven reversals ...

Abstract: A five-month field study of the circulation in the Torres Strait was carried out. Baroclinic effects were negligible. The Arafura Sea and the Coral Sea forced a different tide on either side of Torres Strait, resulting in ...
