[1] A high-resolution hybrid data assimilative (DA) modeling system is used to study barotropic tides and tidal dynamics on the southeast New England shelf. In situ observations include tidal harmonics of 5 major tidal constituents [M2, S2, N2, O1, and K1] analyzed from coastal sea level and bottom pressure gauges. The DA system consists of both forward and inverse models. The former is the thr...

An analysis of current profiles carried out on moored Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler data sets recorded during the Variability of Exchanges In the Northern Seas project is presented here for several locations in three sections in the vicinity of the Iceland-Scotland Ridge: (1) north of the Faroes, (2) in the Faroe-Bank Channel and (3) in the Faroe-Shetland Channel. Total currents have been d...

The work is devoted to a numerical analysis of the MCC-type equations describing strongly nonlinear waves in a two-layer fluid. Its novelties are in adding earth rotation (Coriolis force) and an oscillating forcing imitating a tidal current over a bottom feature. Tidal forcing is represented by an oscillating bottom hill which in most cases gives a reasonable approximation for the case of a fix...
