Long-Term Sea Surface Temperature Variability along the U.S. East Coast

Creator:

Shearman, R. Kipp and Lentz, Steven J.

Abstract:

Sea surface temperature variations along the entire U.S. East Coast from 1875 to 2007 are characterized using a collection of historical observations from lighthouses and lightships combined with recent buoy and shore-based measurements. Long-term coastal temperature trends are warming in the Gulf of Maine [1.0° ± 0.3°C (100 yr)⁻¹] and...

Wave-Driven Inner-Shelf Motions on the Oregon Coast*

Creator:

Kirincich, Anthony R., Lentz, Steven J., and Barth, John A.

Abstract:

Recent work by S. Lentz et al. documents offshore transport in the inner shelf due to a wave-driven return flow associated with the Hasselmann wave stress (the Stokes–Coriolis force). This analysis is extended using observations from the central Oregon coast to identify the wave-driven return flow present and quantify the...
