The Influence of Open Versus Periodic Alongshore Boundaries on Circulation Near Submarine Canyons

It is impractical to create gridded numerical models of coastal circulation with sufficient resolution around small topographic features, such as submarine canyons, and still have the alongshore boundaries placed beyond the decay distance of coastal trapped waves. Two solutions to this problem are to make the alongshore boundaries either open or periodic. Numerical simulations were performed wi...

Low Frequency Waves in the Santa Barbara Channel Observed by High Frequency Radar

[1] Three years of high-frequency radar observations in the Santa Barbara Channel reveal sequences of alternating cyclonic and anticyclonic vortices propagating westward with a period of approximately 2 weeks. The sequences last up to a few months and occur intermittently throughout the year. The velocity distributions of cyclones and anticyclones are antisymmetric with a mean propagation speed...

Scattering and Trapping of Obliquely Incident, Low-Mode Internal Tides off a Continental Shelf and Slope

We demonstrate – using linear scattering theory and an idealized, stratified, rotating ocean domain, with a flat bottom deep ocean and a straight continental slope and shelf – that a high-mode (mode 3) Poincare wave incident on the coastal margin can excite large amplitude leaky coastal trapped waves (CTWs) or leaky edge waves along the coastal margin dependent on the frequency and alongshore w...

California Niño/Niña

The present study shows the existence of intrinsic coastal air-sea coupled phenomenon in the coastal ocean off Baja California and California in boreal summer for the first time. It contributes significantly to the interannual sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies there. An initial decrease/increase in the equatorward alongshore surface winds weakens/strengthens the coastal upwelling and rais...

Wind relaxations and poleward flow events in a coastal upwelling system on the central California coast

[1] When upwelling favorable winds weaken or relax in coastal upwelling systems, prevailing equatorward currents often weaken and then reverse to form propagating poleward currents. Here the statistics of wind relaxations and poleward flow events along the south central California coast are derived using meteorological and oceanographic times series during 2000–2006. Over the 7-year record, 169...
