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...

Creator:: Enfield, D. B. and Allen, J. S.
Abstract:: The behavior and relationship of anomalies of monthly mean sea level, coastal sea surface temperature and alongshore wind stress for the eastern Pacific Ocean during the period 1950–74 have been studied. Sea level and temperature records from Yakutat, Alaska (59°N) to Valparaiso, Chile (33°S) and computed alongshore wind stress at...

Creator:: Enfield, David B. and Allen, J. S.
Abstract:: Case history analysis, cross spectra and multiple regression analysis have been used in a study of low-pass filtered sea level records from the Pacific mainland coast of Mexico in 1971 and 1973–75. During the summer-fall season (May–October), sea level variability is characterized by strong alongshore coherence and nondispersive, poleward phase...

Creator:: Allen, J. S.
Abstract:: A two-layer model is used to study the properties of free coastal trapped waves which propagate over an idealized continental shelf and continental slope bottom topography. With both stratification and depth variations that are typical of continental shelf and slope regions, barotropic shelf waves and baroclinic internal Kelvin waves axe...

Creator:: Spillane, M. C., Enfield, D. B., and Allen, J. S.
Abstract:: Hourly observations of coastal sea level at stations from Peru to British Columbia are analyzed for low-frequency content. A space-time contour plot of sea level, from four years of data during the 1971–75 period, shows the meridional structure of the seasonal cycle and interannual variability associated with the 1972–73 El...

Creator:: Choboter, P. F., Samelson, R. M., and Allen, J. S.
Abstract:: A two-dimensional, frictionless, nonlinear model of coastal upwelling is reexamined. The model has been solved previously at steady state and as an initial-value problem. The previous solution to the initial-value problem is inconsistent with the steady-state solution. A new solution to the spinup problem is presented that approaches the existing...

Creator:: Allen, J. S. and Newberger, P. A.
Abstract:: Model studies of two-dimensional, time-dependent, wind-forced, stratified downwelling circulation on the continental shelf have shown that the near-bottom offshore flow can develop time- and space-dependent fluctuations involving spatially periodic separation and reattachment of the bottom boundary layer and accompanying recirculation cells. Based primarily on the observation that the potential vorticity...

Creator:: Martinez, J. A. and Allen, J. S.
Abstract:: The propagation of incident coastal-trapped waves in the Gulf of California is investigated using a hydrostatic primitive equation model. The behavior of idealized incident wave disturbances with different amplitudes and time scales is examined. The incident wave disturbances propagate northward up-gulf along the east side with no significant change. At...

Creator:: Scott, R. K., Allen, J. S., Egbert, G. D., and Miller, R. N.
Abstract:: An idealized, linear model of the coastal ocean is used to assess the domain of influence of surface type data, in particular how much information such data contain about the ocean state at depth and how such information may be retrieved. The ultimate objective is to assess the feasibility of...

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...
