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,...

degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Oceanography presented on December 3, 2004. Title: Numerical Model
Modeling studies of mesoscale circulation in the Gulf of California

Creator:

Martínez Alcalá, José Antonio

Abstract:

The mesoscale circulation in the Gulf of California is investigated using a numerical model (Princeton Ocean Model). Forced by satellite-derived winds, the circulation in the gulf shows a complex pattern dominated in the southern gulf by multiple eddies. Near the coast and in most of the north gulf, the circulation...
