Abstract: The major steps in the formulation of a three-dimensional shelf edge model using a sigma coordinate system in the vertical are briefly described. Vertical diffusion of momentum is parameterized using a range of turbulence ...

Abstract: The interaction of the internal tide with wind-induced currents in the shelf edge region off the west coast of Scotland is studied using a baroclinic shelf edge model. The model is used in cross-shelf form with a horizontal ...

Abstract: A high-resolution, three-dimensional baroclinic shelf sea model is developed and applied to the determination of the various processes influencing the generation and position of thermal fronts and the associated circulation ...

Abstract: This paper briefly describes the development of a three-dimensional nonlinear hydrodynamic model of the sea region off the west coast of Scotland, the North Channel, and the Irish Sea. The model uses a sigma coordinate in ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional nonlinear baroclinic model in cross-sectional form is used to study the generation and propagation of wind-forced near-inertial internal waves in a coastal region in the presence of a bottom front. ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional stratified tidal model of the Hebrides shelf area off the west coast of Scotland is used to examine the spatial distribution of the M2, O1, and K1 tides in the region. The model has a finer horizontal ...
