Abstract: The purpose of this research is to investigate the evolution of elongated warm eddies. A shallow-water, reduced-gravity, primitive equation model is used to perform a multicase numerical experiment, which includes vortices ...

Abstract: A model is derived to explore the influence of sloping mean density surfaces on low-frequency wind-driven, frictional shelf water flow. The model coastline, isobaths and mean density field do not vary alongshore and a ...

Abstract: Clarke and Van Gorder suggest that many coastally trapped wave modes are needed to describe the wind-driven shelf and slope water alongshore velocity field. Calculations with an harmonic wind forcing confirm this and show ...

Abstract: With the most severe drought on record in its eighteenth month, causing severe damage and hardship in Puerto Rico, several large private concerns and government agencies interested in water decided that the immediate need ...

Abstract: Diurnal air tides that carry Pacific maritime air eastward through passes and over lower portions of the continental divide are remarkably similar over long stretches of the Andes from northern Chile to central Colombia, ...

Abstract: A technique has been developed to correct rocket tracking radar inputs in near real time (maximum computing time of 100 msec) for refractive effects, by iterating twice an approximate closed-form solution for an exponentially ...
