Remote internal wave forcing of regional ocean simulations near the US West Coast

OQ Siyanbola, MC Buijsman, A Delpech, L Renault… - Ocean Modelling, 2023 - Elsevier
Low mode internal waves are able to propagate across ocean basins and modulate ocean
dynamics thousands of kilometers away from their generation sites. In this study, the impact …

Submesoscale current effects on surface waves

L Romero, D Hypolite, JC McWilliams - Ocean Modelling, 2020 - Elsevier
We present a numerical study of current effects on waves (CEW) at submesoscales (100's of
m–10's of km) with a realistic model configuration in Southern California. CEW is analyzed …

[HTML][HTML] The inner-shelf dynamics experiment

N Kumar, JA Lerczak, T Xu… - Bulletin of the …, 2021 - journals.ametsoc.org
The inner shelf, the transition zone between the surfzone and the midshelf, is a dynamically
complex region with the evolution of circulation and stratification driven by multiple physical …

Turbulence asymmetries in bottom boundary layer velocity pulses associated with onshore-propagating nonlinear internal waves

J Becherer, JN Moum, JA Colosi… - Journal of Physical …, 2020 - journals.ametsoc.org
The inner shelf is a region inshore of that part of the shelf that roughly obeys Ekman
dynamics and offshore of the surf zone. Importantly, this is where surface and bottom …

Internal tidal waves and deep-water renewal in a tropical fjord: Lessons from Ambon Bay, eastern Indonesia

GG Salamena, JC Whinney, SF Heron… - Estuarine, Coastal and …, 2021 - Elsevier
Seasonal-varying internal tidal dynamics have a critical role in deep-water renewal in
tropical shallow-silled fjords (eg Ambon Bay, Indonesia). Seasonal-and tidal-based …

Alongshore variability of shoaling internal bores on the inner shelf

JM McSweeney, JA Lerczak, JA Barth… - Journal of Physical …, 2020 - journals.ametsoc.org
Temperature and velocity measurements from 42 moorings were used to investigate the
alongshore variability of nonlinear internal bores as they propagated across the central …

Characteristics and dynamics of density fronts over the inner to midshelf under weak wind conditions

X Wu, F Feddersen… - Journal of Physical …, 2021 - journals.ametsoc.org
Here, we explore the kinematics and dynamics of coastal density fronts (within 10 km from
shore and< 30-m depth), identified using an edge detection algorithm, in a realistic high …

X Wu, F Feddersen, SN Giddings… - Journal of Physical …, 2020 - journals.ametsoc.org
Transport of shoreline-released tracer from the surfzone across the shelf can be affected by
a variety of physical processes from wind-driven to submesoscale, with implications for …

Tidal modulation of energy dissipation routes in the Gulf Stream

M Contreras, L Renault… - Geophysical Research …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract The Gulf Stream (GS) is a powerful ocean current that is instrumental in regulating
the global climate. While a correct reproduction of GS dynamics is contingent on an …
