Lagrangian characteristics of continental shelf flows forced by periodic wind stress

Creator:

Kuebel Cervantes, Brandy T., Allen, John S., and Samelson, Roger M.

Abstract:

The coastal ocean may experience periods of fluctuating along-shelf wind direction, causing shifts between upwelling and downwelling conditions with responses that are not symmetric. We seek to understand these asymmetries and their implications on the Eulerian and Lagrangian flows. We use a two-dimensional (variations across-shelf and with depth; uniformity along-shelf)...

Abstract:

The Oregon Coastal Transition Zone (OCTZ) extends several hundred kilometers offshore where shelf flows interact with the northern California Current. A primitive-equation numerical ocean model is used to study the upwelling circulation in this region from 1 May to 1 November 2001. This OCTZ model obtains initial and boundary conditions...
