Data assimilation for prediction of shallow water flows with uncertain bathymetry

Creator:: Wilson, Gregory W.
Abstract:: A new method is introduced for incorporating bathymetric uncertainty into predictions of nearshore and river flows (i.e., unstratified flows primarily forced by pressure and radiation stress gradients). The method involves the use of the ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) as a parameter estimation scheme, where the parameter to be estimated is...

Numerical model investigations of wind-driven coastal circulation

Creator:: Cervantes, Brandy T.
Abstract:: The effects of wind forcing on coastal ocean circulation are studied using a numerical modeling approach. The first region of interest is on the North Carolina shelf, where the Coastal Ocean Processes (CoOP) Inner Shelf Study (ISS) took place during August - November 1994. ISS observations are used to initialize,...

Longshore grain sorting and beach-placer formation adjacent to the Columbia River

Creator:: Li, Zhenlin
Abstract:: The formation of beach placers primarily involves processes of waves and currents that selectively sort and concentrate the valuable minerals according to their densities, sizes and shapes. Black sand placers are found on the beaches adjacent to the mouth of the Columbia River. Reviews of historical shoreline changes show that...

A terrestrial organic matter depocenter on a high-energy margin adjacent to a low-sediment-yield river : the Umpqua River margin, Oregon

Creator:: Hastings, Roxanne H.
Abstract:: Small, mountainous river systems have been increasingly studied due to their importance as sources of fluvial sediment and organic matter to the coastal ocean. Thus far, studies of small, mountainous river systems have focused on rivers with very high sediment loads. The well-studied Eel River dispersal system in northern California...

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...
