Wind-driven inner-shelf circulation off central Oregon during summer
[1] Velocity measurements from 17 deployments of moored acoustic Doppler current profilers obtained during four summer upwelling seasons are used to describe the crossshelf divergence of Ekman transport in the inner shelf off Oregon. For each deployment the measured surface and bottom cross-shelf transports were compared with estimates of the theoretical Ekman transports to find the fraction of...
متن کاملThe 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 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 ...
متن کاملWave-Driven Inner-Shelf Motions on the Oregon Coast*
Recent work by S. Lentz et al. documents offshore transport in the inner shelf due to a wave-driven return flow associated with the Hasselmann wave stress (the Stokes–Coriolis force). This analysis is extended using observations from the central Oregon coast to identify the wave-driven return flow present and quantify the potential bias of wind-driven across-shelf exchange by unresolved wave-dr...
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...
