(2008-04-18)Flow separation is an important phenomenon in fluid dynamics because of the effect it has on lift and drag on immersed bodies. Areas of swirl within a separated flow region may have a distinct effect on the surface forc ...

(2011-01-27)This dissertation investigates the dynamics of the tidally modulated outflow from the Columbia River mouth using high resolution measurements of velocity, density and turbulent microstructure. At high tide, flow through ...

Enhanced turbulence due to the superposition of internal gravity waves and a coastal upwelling jet (American Geophysical Union, 2007-06-28)The upwelling-driven coastal jet off Oregon is in geostrophic balance to first order. The accompanying thermal wind shear is stable to shear instability. Yet enhanced turbulence is observed in the upwelling jet, typica ...

(2012-06-01)Weak-wind flow in the nocturnal boundary is one of the most poorly understood problems in the field of meteorology. The understanding of weak-wind flows is essential for the improvement of regulatory dispersion models wh ...

(American Geophysical Union, 2009-11-24)Measurements of suspended sediment concentration, velocity, salinity, and turbulent microscale shear in the near-field region of the Columbia River plume are used to investigate the mechanisms of sediment resuspension ...
-
(American Geophysical Union, 2009-08-14)The initial composition of a river plume depends on the cumulative turbulent entrainment within the estuary and how this dilutes the supplied freshwater. Here we examine the relative roles of turbulence and freshwater ...

(American Geophysical Union, 2009-05-13)We present observations from deployments of a microstructure turbulence instrument (the Towed Microstructure and Auxiliary Sensor Instrument) aboard a pumping profiling vehicle (the Lamont Pumping SeaSoar) towed behind ...
