The leading edge of a tropical instability wave : interpretation as a gravity current

Creator:

McHugh, Elizabeth Helen

Abstract:

A sharp temperature front, oriented along the south-west corner of the leading edge of a Tropical Instability Wave (TIW) warm trough, was encountered at 0°N, 140°W on November 2, 2008 and detected by a 0.45°C increase in SST that occurred over 7 s. The distinct SST signal was observed at...

Depth-dependence of surf zone eddies : a study at Duck, NC

Creator:

Aiken, Rebecca A.

Abstract:

Surf zone eddies (f < 0.01 Hz) are important in nearshore mixing, shoreline erosion, the distribution of pollutants, and ecological processes, such as offshore transport of larvae. Surf zone eddies have traditionally been treated as two-dimensional features with horizontal length scales larger than the local water depth. Studies by Lippmann...
