Coastal ocean variability inferred from high resolution models : two case studies

Creator:

Mauch, Matthew L.

Abstract:

In this thesis, high resolution ocean models are used to evaluate and forecast coastal ocean variability in two different applications. In the first study, the 2-km resolution ocean circulation model for the Eastern Bering Sea is utilized to understand whether slope-interior exchange along the path of the Aleutian North Slope...

Development, performance evaluation and application of a physical model of the Kenyan-Tanzanian coastal region

Creator:

Mayorga Adame, Claudia Gabriela

Abstract:

A Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) application for the coastal region of Kenya and Tanzania (0-10° S, 38.7-46.98° E) was developed with the aim of better resolving the circulation patterns in the coastal region that is poorly represented in global models. The model has a horizontal resolution of 4 km,...

Intra-seasonal sea level variability along the west coast of India

Creator:

Dhage, Laxmikant

Abstract:

The importance of local versus distant forcing is studied for the wind driven intra- seasonal (30-120 day) sea level anomaly (SLA) variations along the west coast of India. Three locations on the continental slope are chosen to represent the west coast. Two more locations, one east of Sri-Lanka and another...
