Equatorward jets and poleward undercurrents along the eastern boundary of the mid-latitude north Pacific

Creator:: Pierce, Stephen D.
Abstract:: We sharpen our view of an eastern boundary current region during the upwelling season through the analysis of several data sets. We focus on the mesoscale flow field off of northern California, observed during the Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ) experiment of 1988. First, we estimate tidal currents in the region...

Nonlinear internal waves on the continental shelf

Creator:: Shroyer, Emily L.
Abstract:: The properties and evolution of nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) depend upon the background conditions within which waves form, propagate, and dissipate. As a result, the NLIW field on the New Jersey shelf displayed dramatic variability during the Shallow Water 2006 experiment. Wave variability was exhibited by 1) amplitudes that ranged...

Interactions of wind-driven and tidally-driven circulation in the Oregon coastal ocean

Creator:: Osborne, John J.
Abstract:: Influences of tidal and slower (subtidal) oceanic flows over the continental shelf and slope off Oregon are studied using a high-resolution ocean circulation model and comparative model-data analyses. The model is based on the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS), a fully nonlinear, three-dimensional model (using hydrostatic and Boussinesq approximations). The...

Modeling studies of the coastal circulation off northern California

Creator:: Pullen, Julie D.
Abstract:: By implementing a series of mass-conserving nested high-resolution models down to approximately 1 km resolution that have realistic bathymetry, coastline, wind forcing and river run-off, the winter 1996-1997 shelf flow near Cape Mendocino, California, is simulated and compared with available observations from the Strata Formation on Margins (STRATAFORM) marine geology...

Long wavelength gravity anomalies and implications concerning a descending lithospheric slab in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: MacFarlane, William Thomas
Abstract:: The thermal regime of a postulated descending lithospheric slab is calculated. The gravity anomaly associated with such a structure is large in amplitude and long in wavelengh. Observed free-air gravity anomalies in the Pacific Northwest do not indicate a gravitational effect due to a descending slab. Two hypothetical compensation models...

Sedimentary texture--a key to interpret deep-marine dynamics

Creator:: Allen, David William
Abstract:: The processes responsible for transporting and depositing thick sections of coarse-grained terrigenous clastics on the abyssal floor and for forming associated sedimentary structures are still conjectural. Many workers attribute coarse deep-sea sediments and their probable lithified equivalent, the graywackes of flysch deposits to some type of density movement. Deductions concerning...
