Some Characteristics of Nearshore Currents along the North Shore of Lake Ontario
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In three periods during 1970 representative of spring, summer and fall, the horizontal currents off Oshawa in Lake Ontario were measured at distances of 3, 6, 11 and 16 km offshore. All records were spectrally analyzed for ...
Nearshore Lake Currents Measured During Upwelling and Downwelling of the Thermocline in Lake Ontario
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The upwelling-downwelling cycles observed along the north shore of Lake Ontario have periods of about 12 to 16 days in length. Currents associated with the downwelling cycle are typically stronger. The periods of the cycles ...
Observations of Lateral Shear in the Nearshore Zone of a Great Lake
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of currents across a nearshore zone from 2 to 6 km offshore indicate that unsteady longshore flow and complete reversals in flow are usually accompanied by large values of lateral shear. These values often ...
Monthly Mean Wind Fields for the South Atlantic Bight
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A total of 339 389 marine weather observations have been analyzed to Produce Monthly mean wind fields for the South Atlantic Bight. The results of plotting wind vectors on a 1/2° latitude by 1/2° longitude grid yields four ...
Advection of Momentum and Buoyancy in a Coastal Frontal Zone
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We report a study of a coastal frontal zone of the southeastern United States based on a field experiment and numerical modeling. The study was conducted in the spring of 1985 during weak to moderate wind stress and strong ...
