Coastal embayment circulation due to atmospheric cooling

Nonlocal transport due to Langmuir circulation in a coastal ocean

[1] We present observations and simulations of large-scale velocity structures associated with turbulent boundary layer dynamics of a coastal ocean. Special purpose acoustic Doppler current profiler measurements revealed that such structures were frequently present, in spite of complex coastal environmental conditions. Large eddy simulation results are only consistent with these observations if...

Investigation of the atmospheric circulation anomalies associated with extreme rainfall events over the Coastal West Africa

This study investigates the atmospheric circulation associated with extreme rainfall events over the coastal West Africa. The rainfall data of this study were obtained from the Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC), spanning from 1981 to 2010. The atmospheric datasets were also obtained from the ERA-Interim reanalysis. The study employed the Z-Index to categorize dry and wet years into...

The propagating response of coastal circulation due to wind relaxations along the central California coast

[1] Following relaxations of prevailing upwelling‐favorable winds, warm waters from the Santa Barbara Channel propagate poleward around Point Conception and along the south central California coast. We examined characteristics of these relaxation flows, including frontal propagation speed and temperature changes during the warm water arrivals, by using multiyear time series of currents and temp...
