Frontogenesis and Frontal Progression of a Trapping-Generated Estuarine Convergence Front and Its Influence on Mixing and Stratification
Estuarine fronts are well known to influence transport of waterborne constituents such as phytoplankton and sediment, yet due to their ephemeral nature, capturing the physical driving mechanisms and their influence on stratification and mixing is difficult. We investigate a repetitive estuarine frontal feature in the Snohomish River Estuary that results from complex bathymetric shoal/ channel i...
متن کاملThe Mathematical Theory of Frontogenesis
For over one hundred years it has been known that atmospheric depressions have cold frontal regions in which typically the temperature falls rapidly, the wind changes, and precipitation occurs. Sixty years ago Norwegian meteorologists shaped their polar front model in which depressions were considered to grow on a preexisting sloping thermal discontinuity; as the depressions grew it was conside...
متن کاملEdge Detection at Junctions
This paper discusses the poor performance of the Canny edge detector at junctions formed by three edges, where connectivity is usually destroyed in an arbitrary way. This problem is shown to be due to the non-maximal suppression algorithm, used to identify points of inflection in the grey-level surface. A method to overcome the problem, based on local evidence in the gradient vector, is reporte...
متن کاملOceanic restratification forced by surface frontogenesis
Potential vorticity (PV) conservation implies a strong constraint on the time evolution of the mean density at a given depth. We show that, on an f -plane and in the absence of sources and sinks of PV, it only depends on two terms, namely the time evolution of the product between density anomaly and relative vorticity, and the vertical PV flux. This primitive-equation result, that applies at an...
متن کاملLee-side Frontogenesis in the Rocky Mountains
The development and motion of fronts associated with lee-side troughs on large mountain barriers has been investigated. These fronts differ from ordinary cold fronts in their horizontal temperature field, which is characterized by a sinusoidal thermal ridge. The thermal ridge intensifies, while remaining stationary with respect to the mountains, and moves eastward upon the approach of a Pacific...
