The New Jersey Shelf Observing System
Introduction The coastal ocean represents up to 30% of the total global ocean productivity and more than 90% of the world's fish catch (Holigan and Reiners, 1992). The coastal ocean also represents the major chemical-" filter " between the terrestrial and open oceans with the majority of the terrestrial inputs and biological productivity being remineralized on broad shelves with little export t...
متن کاملObservations of Cross-Shelf Flow Driven by Cross-Shelf Winds on the Inner Continental Shelf
Six-yr-long time series of winds, waves, and water velocity from a cabled coastal observatory in 12 m of water reveal the separate dependence of the cross-shelf velocity profile on cross-shelf and along-shelf winds, waves, and tides. During small waves, cross-shelf wind is the dominant mechanism driving the cross-shelf circulation after tides and tidal residual motions are removed. The along-sh...
متن کاملStratigraphic and Geoacoustic Characterization of the Outer New Jersey Shelf
As a participant of the ONR Shallow Water Acoustics experiment to be held on the outer New Jersey shelf during the summer of 2006 (SWA06), the long term goal of this project is to understand the interaction of acoustic energy, at both medium and low frequencies, with the seabed. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this work are to (1) incorporate existing geological, geophysical and geoacoustic data i...
متن کاملSubtidal Cross - Shelf Circulation on the Northern California Shelf
Moored time series from the Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment (CODE), Shelf Mixed Layer Experiment (SMILE), Sediment Transport Events over the Shelf and Slope (STRESS) study, and Northern California Coastal Circulation Study (NCCCS) are used to study subtidal cross-shelf circulation over the northern California shelf. The northern California shelf, like much of the United States Pacific coast, ...
متن کاملAn Adjoint Sensitivity Study of Buoyancy- and Wind-Driven Circulation on the New Jersey Inner Shelf
Adjoint sensitivity analysis is used to study the New York Bight circulation for three idealized situations: an unforced buoyant river plume, and upwelling and downwelling wind forcing. A derivation of adjoint sensitivity is presented that clarifies how the method simultaneously addresses initial, boundary, and forcing sensitivities. Considerations of interpretation and appropriate definitions ...
