Horizontal Variability of Internal Waves and Tides: Seafloor Pressure Measurements and Idealized Resonant Modes

Creator:

Thomas, Jennifer A.

Abstract:

Internal waves and tides are a dominant source of current variability, and they are intermittent and hard to predict. Internal waves can have significant variability in alongshore structure. However, previous studies on internal waves have focused primarily on their cross-shore structure and propagation. For example, while alongshore-propagating superinertial internal tides...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION OF Jennifer A. Thomas for
The Influence of Model Resolution on Dispersal and Retention in Oregon Coastal Waters

Creator:

Wong-Ala, Jennifer A. T. K.

Abstract:

Lagrangian particle tracking (LPT) models are used to explore how physical processes influence the transport of particles (e.g., eggs, larvae, or propagules) in the ocean. On the Oregon continental shelf and slope, the Northern California Current System (CCS) is influenced by spatially and temporally variable coastal currents driven by weather,...
