Baroclinic tidal flows and inundation processes in Cook Inlet, Alaska: numerical modeling and satellite observations
A wetting and drying (WAD) algorithm is implemented in a baroclinic three-dimensional ocean circulation model of Cook Inlet, Alaska, where large tidal ranges (≈10 m) regularly expose extensive mudflats. The model includes tides and windand buoyancy-induced flows. In the upper Inlet, the model successfully simulates large amplification of tides and propagation of fast (3∼4 m s) tidal bores over ...
متن کاملTectonic block motion and glacial isostatic adjustment in southeast Alaska and adjacent Canada constrained by GPS measurements
[1] We use data from campaign and continuous GPS sites in southeast Alaska and the neighboring region of Canada to constrain a regional tectonic block model that estimates block angular velocities and derives a self‐consistent set of fault slip rates from the block motions. Present‐day tectonics in southeast Alaska is strongly influenced by the collision of the Yakutat block. Our model predicts...
متن کاملSpatial modeling of haul-out site use by harbor seals in Cook Inlet, Alaska
Harbor seals Phoca vitulina haul out on land to give birth to and rear their pups, rest, escape aquatic predation and molt. The choice of a haul-out site is therefore fundamental to survival and reproduction. Aerial surveys of harbor seals were conducted in Cook Inlet, Alaska, to investigate the seals’ selection of various environmental characteristics of haul-out sites. Eight surveys from Apri...
متن کاملEstimated Abundance of Belugas, Delphinapterus Leucas, in Cook Inlet, Alaska, from Aerial Surveys Conducted in June
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) conducted aerial surveys of the beluga, Delphinapterus leucas, population in Cook Inlet, Alaska, 31 May 9 June 2011 as a continuum of surveys conducted since 1993. Eight of the days in 2011 resulted in complete surveys of the beluga habitat in the upper inlet (north of East Foreland and West Foreland); and the remaining two days included surveys of t...
متن کاملBELUGA WHALE, Delphinapterus leucas: Cook Inlet Population - Critically Endangered
Population Identity: Based on studies of mitochondrial DNA, Cook Inlet belugas are genetically distinct from the other four beluga populations that occur in western and northern Alaska (O’Corry-Crowe et al. 1997; O’Corry-Crowe, pers. comm.). There have been only two beluga sightings recorded in the region between Cook Inlet and the nearest beluga population in Bristol Bay (Frost and Lowry 1990;...
