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...

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,...

Abstract:: Measurements of a fresh surface anomaly (fresh lens) produced by rainfall during a westerly wind burst have been analyzed. The measurements were made in December 1992 as part of the Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Response Experiment in the western equatorial Pacific (2°S, 156°E). Measurements included radar estimates of rainfall, upper-ocean temperature (T),...

Creator:: Wijesekera, H. W., Allen, John S., and Newberger, P. A.
Abstract:: The sensitivity of model-produced time-dependent wind-driven circulation on the continental shelf to the turbulent closure scheme employed is studied with a twodimensional approximation (variations across-shelf and in depth) using the Princeton Ocean Model. The level 2.5 Mellor-Yamada closure (MY), k-ε closure, and K-Profile Parameterization schemes are used to evaluate the...
