Baroclinic and wind-induced circulation in Tarragona harbour (northeastern Spain)
نویسنده
چکیده
A harbour can be defined as a sheltered part of a body of water that is deep enough to provide anchorage and operative conditions for loading/unloading of ships. It is also a place in which upland activities interface with waterborne activities. Different harbour classification schemes can be devised based on scale, complexity or activity.

مطالعه الگوی جریان در خزر جنوبی با استفاده از یک مدل معادلات مقدم در مختصات سیگما
The aim of this study was to design and develop a three-dimensional numerical baroclinic model with the ability to accept complex bottom topography and variable wind in space and time to investigation wind-induced current at 10 layers in the south Caspian Sea. The finite difference method Was used for numerical solution of the primitive equation in spherical Sigma pressure coordinate system on ...
متن کاملA Mathematical Model for Indian Ocean Circulation in Spherical Coordinate
In recent years, the Indian Ocean (IO) has been discovered to have a much larger impact on climate variability than previously thought. This paper reviews processes in which the IO is, or appears to be, actively involved. We begin the mathematical model with a pattern for summer monsoon winds. Three dimensional temperature and velocity fields are calculated analytically for the ocean forced by ...
متن کاملRelative effects of wind stress curl, topography, and stratification on large-scale circulation in Lake Michigan
[1] This paper uses the results from two multiseason numerical model simulations of Lake Michigan hydrodynamics to examine the relative effects of wind stress curl, topography, and stratification on large-scale circulation. The multiseason simulations provide a period long enough to encompass the full range of atmospheric and thermal conditions that can occur in the lake. The purpose of this pa...
متن کاملRapid response of the East Australian Current to remote wind forcing: The role of barotropic-baroclinic interactions
The strength of the East Australian Current (EAC) is observed to vary in response to changes in basin-scale winds in the South Pacific, with a time lag of three years. First mode baroclinic Rossby waves would take 10–15 years to reach the western boundary from the center of the South Pacific, so a faster mechanism is needed to explain this link. We use an ocean general circulation model forced ...
متن کاملWind–Evaporation Feedback and Abrupt Seasonal Transitions of Weak, Axisymmetric Hadley Circulations
For an imposed thermal forcing localized off the equator, it is known that conservation of absolute angular momentum in axisymmetric flow produces a nonlinear response once the forcing exceeds a critical amplitude. It is shown here that, for a moist atmosphere in convective quasi-equilibrium, the combination of wind-dependent ocean surface enthalpy fluxes and zonal momentum advection can provid...
