Reducing Drag and Oscillation of Spheres Used for Buoyancy in Oceanographic Moorings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Numerical and laboratory results of the drag characteristics are presented for different configurations of an underwater buoyancy package. It is shown that the drag and oscillation of an underwater sphere can be reduced ...
A Diagnostic Coastal Circulation Model with Application to Conception Bay, Newfoundland
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A diagnostic circulation model is developed for application to coastal regions. The three-dimensional velocity field can be calculated from a specified density field and wind-stress distribution provided transport is given ...
The Local and Nonlocal Response of Conception Bay to Wind Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper the response of Conception Bay to wind forcing is discussed. Current meter and thermistor chain observations are analysed and compared with output from a reduced-gravity numerical model. The model incorporates ...
The Variation of Transport Through the Straits of Florida: A Barotropic Model Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A high-resolution, barotropic model of the North Atlantic is used to study the variation of transport through the Straits of Florida on timescales from a few days to seasonal. The model is driven by wind and atmospheric ...
Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program: A New International Ocean Observing System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: or decades oceanographers have understood the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) to be primarily driven by changes in the production of deep-water formation in the subpolar and subarctic North Atlantic. ...
