Measurements of Form and Frictional Drags over a Rough Topographic Bank

Creator:

Wijesekera, H. W., Jarosz, E., Teague, W. J., Wang, D. W., Fribance, D. B., Moum, J. N., and Warner, S. J.

Abstract:

Pressure differences across topography generate a form drag that opposes the flow in the water column, and viscous and pressure forces acting on roughness elements of the topographic surface generate a frictional drag on the bottom. Form drag and bottom roughness lengths were estimated over the East Flower Garden Bank...

Surface Wave Effects on High-Frequency Currents over a Shelf Edge Bank

Creator:

Wijesekera, H. W., Wang, D. W., Teague, W. J., Jarosz, E., Rogers, W. E., Fribance, D. B., and Moum, J. N.

Abstract:

Several acoustic Doppler current profilers and vertical strings of temperature, conductivity, and pressure sensors, deployed on and around the East Flower Garden Bank (EFGB), were used to examine surface wave effects on high-frequency flows over the bank and to quantify spatial and temporal characteristic of these high-frequency flows. The EFGB,...
