Creator:: Dever, Edward P.
Abstract:: Along- and cross-shelf correlation scales of subtidal cross-shelf (u) and alongshelf (ν) velocities are estimated using moored records from several field programs over the northern California shelf. Over record lengths of 4-6 months, along-shelf correlation scales of ν are greater than maximum mooring separations (60 km). In the cross-shelf direction...

Creator:: Pringle, James M. and Dever, Edward P.
Abstract:: In north and central California, equatorward winds drive equatorward flows and the upwelling of cold dense water over the shelf during the midspring and summer upwelling season. When the winds temporarily weaken, the upwelling flows between Point Reyes and Point Arena ‘‘relax,’’ becoming strongly poleward over the shelf. Analytical and...

Creator:: Dever, Edward P. and Lentz, S. J.
Abstract:: Heat and salt balances are estimated over the northern California shelf from early December 1988 through late February 1989 (winter) and from early March through early May 1989 (spring) from moored meteorological and oceanographic time series taken in 93 m of water 6.3 km from the coast. We find a...

Creator:: Cudaback, Cynthia N., Washburn, Libe, and Dever, Edward P.
Abstract:: We discuss connections between inner‐shelf and mid‐shelf circulation near Point Conception, California, as well as the wind forcing of inner‐shelf circulation. Point Conception marks the southern edge of a major upwelling zone that extends from Oregon to central California. The coastline makes a sharp eastward turn at Point Conception, and...

Creator:: Koracin, Darko, Dorman, Clive E., and Dever, Edward P.
Abstract:: Month-long simulations using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–National Center for Atmospheric Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) with a horizontal resolution of 9 km have been used to investigate perturbations of topographically forced wind stress and wind stress curl during upwelling-favorable winds along the California and Baja California coasts during June 1999....

Creator:: Kim, Tae-Wan, Cho, Yang-Ki, and Dever, Edward P.
Abstract:: The thermal properties of sediment and the albedo are critical in calculating the heat flux of a tidal flat. However, they are not well known because of the difficulties of sampling and observing tidal flats. We use extensive field observations of a macrotidal flat on the western coast of Korea...

Creator:: Winant, C. D., Dever, Edward P., and Hendershott, M. C.
Abstract:: The coastal circulation in the Santa Barbara Channel (SBC) and the southern central California shelf is described in terms of three characteristic flow patterns. The upwelling pattern consists of a prevailing equatorward flow at the surface and at 45 m depth, except in the area immediately adjacent to the mainland...

Creator:: Dever, Edward P., Hendershott, M. C., and Winant, C. D.
Abstract:: Argos-tracked drifters are used to study the near-surface circulation in the Santa Barbara Channel. The mean consists of a cyclonic cell in the western Santa Barbara Channel with weaker flow in the eastern Channel. Drifter mean velocities agree well with record means from near-surface current meters. At the eastern entrance...

Creator:: Winant, C. D., Alden, D. J., Dever, Edward P., Edwards, K. A., and Hendershott, M. C.
Abstract:: The near-surface circulation in the Santa Barbara Channel and off the coast of central and southern California is described based on 20 releases of drifters drogued 1 m beneath the surface from 12 sites within the channel at bimonthly intervals. This description includes small-scale features of the circulation which are...

Abstract:: Realistic hindcast of the Columbia River estuarine-plume-shelf circulation in summer 2004 using the Regional Ocean Modeling System nested within the Navy Coastal Ocean Model (NCOM) is quantitatively evaluated with an extensive set of observations. The model has about equal skill at tidal and subtidal properties. Tidal circulation and water properties...
