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...
