Abstract: Surface wind was measured in Smith Sound and Jones Sound in northern Baffin Bay in conjunction with an investigation of the North Water. The influence of local topography on the surface wind was found to be especially ...

Abstract: The author investigates how the path of the subtropical inertial western boundary current on a bottom slope is affected by viscosity, coastal boundary condition, and width of the continental shelf. Steady flow patterns of ...

Abstract: The western boundary current of the subtropical gyre flows on the upper continental slope and is controlled by the bottom topography; however, our theoretical understanding of how the path of the boundary current is ...

Abstract: An extensive series of labroatory tests were conducted and these tests led to the development of a formula to predict runup elevation of random waves on gentle, smooth and impermeable slopes, as a function of surf similarity ...

Abstract: This paper examines wave height distributions in connection with wave grouping. The relationship between the groupiness factor,

Abstract: he dynamics of subtropical western boundary currents over slopes detaching from coasts with inshore pool regions, where the water of the subtropical gyre does not enter and the velocity is small, are investigated. This ...

Abstract: By employing a boundary-layer concept, the wave-induced fluctuation of pore-water pressure in an anisotropic seabed of semi-infinite depth is derived in a simple form, which contains the solution of the isotropic case. The ...

Abstract: Simplified analytical solutions have been developed for the wave-induced response of a cross-anisotropic seabed of infinite thickness. These solutions deal with the seabed in two conditions: slightly unsaturated and fully ...
