Monthly climatology of the continental shelf waters of the South Atlantic Bight
Monthly circulation of the South Atlantic Bight is diagnosed using a 3-D, shallow water, finite element model forced with monthly wind stress and hydrographic climatology. Temperature and salinity observations from the period 1950-99 are objectively interpolated onto the model domain, and Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (COADS) wind velocities from 1975-1999 are used to prescribe the mo...
متن کاملOn Estuarine and Continental-Shelf Circulation in the Middle Atlantic Bight
We shall attempt in this chapter to trace the development of ideas about circulation over the continental shelf in the Middle Atlantic Bight and in the major estuaries which drain into the Middle Atlantic Bight. The term Middle Atlantic Bight refers to the curved section of the continental shelf off the eastern United States stretching between Cape Hatteras to the south and Cape Cod and Nantuck...
متن کاملA numerical study of the continental shelf circulation of the U . S . South Atlantic Bight during the autumn of 1987
-The autumn circulation on the innerand mid-shelf of the U.S. South Atlantic Bight (SAB) is examined numerically. Using data collected in 1987 during the Fall Experiment (FLEX) the alongshore structure of the currents and the coastal sea level fluctuations were found to be correlated to local winds which were strong and persistently northeasterly. The observed inshore distribution of freshwater...
متن کاملAn assessment of the skill of real-time models of Mid-Atlantic Bight continental shelf circulation
[1] Prescribing open boundary conditions for regional coastal ocean models encounters the challenge of imposing information on sea level, velocity and tracers that characterize the unrepresented far field ocean. Deriving such information from a larger domain model without communicating information from the ‘‘nested’’ model back to the exterior model is ‘‘downscaling’’. We evaluate whether real-...
متن کاملElephant teeth from the atlantic continental shelf.
Teeth of mastodons and mammoths have been recovered by fishermen from at least 40 sites on the continental shelf as deep as 120 meters. Also present are submerged shorelines, peat deposits, lagoonal shells, anz relict sands. Evidently elephants and other large mammals ranged this region during the glacial stage of low sea level of the last 25,000 years.
