1. 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...
Resource Type:: Dissertation

2. The large-scale coastal wind field and sea level response along the west coast of North America

Creator:: Halliwell, George R.
Resource Type:: Dissertation
Full Text:: between two relatively stationary pressure systems, the North Pacific subtropical high and southwest U.S

3. Numerical model investigations of wind-driven coastal circulation

Creator:: Cervantes, Brandy T.
Abstract:: The effects of wind forcing on coastal ocean circulation are studied using a numerical modeling approach. The first region of interest is on the North Carolina shelf, where the Coastal Ocean Processes (CoOP) Inner Shelf Study (ISS) took place during August - November 1994. ISS observations are used to initialize,...
