Form Drag and Mixing Due to Tidal Flow past a Sharp Point

Creator:

Edwards, Kathleen A., MacCready, Parker, Moum, James N., Pawla, Geno, Klymak, Jody M., and Perlin, Alexander

Abstract:

Barotropic tidal currents flowing over rough topography may be slowed by two bottom boundary–related processes: tangential stress of the bottom boundary layer, which is generally well represented by a quadratic drag law, and normal stress from bottom pressure, known as form drag. Form drag is rarely estimated from oceanic observations...

Evaluation of a coastal ocean circulation model for the Columbia River plume in summer 2004

Creator:

Liu, Yonggang, MacCready, Parker, Hickey, Barbara M., Dever, Edward P., Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, and Banas, Neil S.

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...
