Cross-Shelf Exchange in Prograde Antarctic Troughs Driven by Offshore-Propagating Dense Water Eddies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Wind-Driven Circulation in a Shelf Valley. Part I: Mechanism of the Asymmetrical Response to Along-Shelf Winds in Opposite Directions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractMotivated by observations in Hudson shelf valley showing stronger onshore than offshore flows, this study investigates wind-driven flows in idealized shallow shelf valleys. This first part of a two-part sequence ...
Wind-Driven Circulation in a Shelf Valley. Part II: Dynamics of the Along-Valley Velocity and Transport
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe dynamics controlling the along-valley (cross shelf) flow in idealized shallow shelf valleys with small to moderate Burger number are investigated, and analytical scales of the along-valley flows are derived. ...
Warm Spiral Streamers over Gulf Stream Warm-Core Rings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study examines the generation of warm spiral structures (referred to as spiral streamers here) over Gulf Stream warm-core rings. Satellite sea surface temperature imagery shows spiral streamers forming after warmer ...
