The Generation of Long Shelf Waves by the Wind
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Currents [O(0.1 m sec?1)] and sea-level variations [O(0.1 m)] on the continental shelf can be produced when atmospheric disturbances pass by. Since the atmospheric systems have length scales large compared with the width ...
Topographically Induced Changes in the Structure of an Inertial Coastal Jet: Application to the Agulhas Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Calculations are made of the changes in the structure of an inertial current which can be induced by slow changes in the topography of the continental shelf and slope along which it flows. The particular case of a uniform ...
Coastal-Trapped Waves off the Coast of South Africa: Generation, Propagation and Current Structures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Coastal sea level variations from six sites around South Africa are used to establish the characteristics of coastal-trapped wave (CTW) propagation. Substantial amplitudes (>50 cm) are found along the south coast, but ...
