  • 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...
