Abstract: A comprehensive dataset obtained in summer of 1996 on the New Jersey shelf off Atlantic City is analyzed to determine the pathway for cold water during a period of sustained upwelling. The data include shipboard CTD/ADCP ...

Abstract: AbstractIn boundary areas of the World Ocean, a semidiurnal tide propagates in the form of a Kelvin wave mode trapped by the coastline. Over wide continental shelves, the semidiurnal tide is no longer a pure Kelvin wave ...

Abstract: A full set of long waves trapped in the coastal ocean over a variable topography includes a zero (fundamental) mode propagating with the coast on its right (left) in the Northern (Southern) Hemisphere. This zero mode ...

Abstract: This study presents observations of a buoyant plume off Winyah Bay, South Carolina, which was formed under conditions of high freshwater discharge and upwelling-favorable wind forcing. Analysis of observations demonstrates ...

Abstract: A simple theory that predicts the vertical structure and offshore spreading of a localized buoyant inflow onto a continental shelf is formulated. The theory is based on two competing mechanisms that move the buoyant fluid ...

Abstract: Subinertial dynamics on the inner New Jersey shelf is examined using time series of the forcing agents (atmospheric pressure, wind stress, and Hudson River streamflow), adjusted sea level (ASL) along the southern part of ...

Abstract: Shipboard hydrographic and acoustic Doppler current profiler surveys conducted in August 1996 on the New Jersey inner shelf revealed a buoyant intrusion advancing southward along the coast. This buoyant intrusion originated ...
