Modeling studies of the coastal circulation off northern California

Creator:

Pullen, Julie D.

Abstract:

By implementing a series of mass-conserving nested high-resolution models down to approximately 1 km resolution that have realistic bathymetry, coastline, wind forcing and river run-off, the winter 1996-1997 shelf flow near Cape Mendocino, California, is simulated and compared with available observations from the Strata Formation on Margins (STRATAFORM) marine geology...

An empirical statistical model relating winds and ocean surface currents : implications for short-term current forecasts

Creator:

Zelenke, Brian Christopher

Abstract:

An empirical statistical model is developed that relates the non-tidal motion of the ocean surface currents off the Oregon coast to forecasts of the coastal winds. The empirical statistical model is then used to produce predictions of the surface currents that are evaluated for their agreement with measured currents. Measurements...

Ocean Surface Currents: Implications for Short-term Current Forecasts 1 Introduction
Variability in mesoscale circulation and its effects on zooplankton distribution in the Northern California Current

Creator:

Keister, Julie Eileen

Abstract:

In eastern boundary current upwelling ecosystems, mesoscale circulation features such as eddies and upwelling filaments play a prominent role in the transfer of water and the associated plankton from the productive nearshore to the oligotrophic deep sea. The relationship between mesoscale circulation, zooplankton distributions, and the across-shelf transport of coastal...
