A Modeling Study of Eulerian and Lagrangian Aspects of Shelf Circulation off Duck, North Carolina

Creator:

Kuebel Cervantes, B. T., Allen, J. S., and Samelson, R. M.

Abstract:

The effects of wind-forced upwelling and downwelling on the continental shelf off Duck, North Carolina, are studied through experiments with a two-dimensional numerical primitive equation model. Moored and shipboard measurements obtained during August–November 1994 as part of the Coastal Ocean Processes (CoOP) Inner Shelf Study (ISS) are used for model–data...

Normal-Mode Instabilities of a Time-Dependent Coastal Upwelling Jet

Creator:

Durski, S. M., Samelson, R. M., and Allen, J. S.

Abstract:

The linear stability of a nearly time-periodic, nonlinear, coastal upwelling–downwelling circulation, over alongshore-uniform topography, driven by a time-periodic wind stress is investigated using numerical methods. The near-periodic alongshore-uniform basic flow is obtained by forcing a primitive equation numerical model of coastal ocean circulation with periodic wind stress. Disturbance growth on...
