Coastal ocean response to alongshore variations in topography and wind forcing

Creator:

Castelao, Renato Menezes

Abstract:

The effects of alongshore variability in topography (banks and capes) and spatial variability in the wind forcing, including the wind-stress curl, on coastal ocean circulation are studied using a combination of observations and model simulations. Satellite sea surface temperature observations are used to describe the seasonal evolution of temperature fronts...

Pierce, Stephen D., Barth, John A., Smith, Robert L. (Robert Lloyd), 1935-, and Oregon State University. College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences

Abstract:

We present velocity observations from a shipboard acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP) on RN Wecoma during cruise W9508b, 17-27 August 1995. Results from the short half-day cruise W9508c on 31 August 1995 are also shown. The ADCP processing procedures for W9508b are described in detail. This cruise was part of...
