Observations of tidal variability on the New England shelf

Creator:

Shearman, R. Kipp and Lentz, Steven J.

Abstract:

Observations from the Coastal Mixing and Optics experiment moored array, deployed from August 1996 through June 1997, are used to describe barotropic and baroclinic tidal variability over the New England shelf. The dominant M₂ tidal elevations decrease toward the northeast to a minimum over the Nantucket shoals (about 34 cm),...
