In the southern Weddell Sea, several water masses with the capability to form Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) meet near the continental shelf break. The internal tidal field over the continental shelf break here is of interest due to its potential to mix these waters and form AABW. A modified version of the Princeton Ocean Model (POM) was utilized to investigate the internal tidal fields generate...

In this paper the development of a single set of design parameters of the sizing of the tidally affected detention pond system was analyzed and tested. The approach uses critical duration single storm event of specified return period, together with a single harmonic tide. The design flood level is then the aggregate of the levels obtained using the system model with the four phase lags between ...

sea surface topography (sst) by definition is the separation between the geoid and the mean sea level (msl). the separation between the geoid and msl is caused by various non-gravitational physical effects. if determination of the geoid as the zero point of the height systems from the tide gauge observation be the goal, it is necessary that the affect of the physical effect be precisely compute...

Abstract The location of mixing due to internal tides is important for both the ocean circulation as well local biogeochemical processes. Numerous observations and modeling studies have shown that submarine canyons may be regions enhanced tide‐driven mixing, but there has not yet been a systematic study all resolved in bathymetric datasets. Here, we parameterize dissipation from suite simulatio...

In coastal areas, hydrodynamic factors make changes in shorelines geomorphology. This can affect coastal facilities and cause hazards to human societies in the areas. This study has investigated the influence of wave and tide properties on Khamir Port, Hormoz Strait in coast of Persian Gulf. The purpose of the study is to make a mathematical regional and local modeling of water level fluctuatio...

Please cite this article in press as: Stuhne Ocean Modell. (2009), doi:10.1016/j.ocem In an earlier work, we described how an unstructured grid numerical framework based on an energy-conserving Arakawa C-grid discretization could be applied to ocean general circulation models (OGCMs). We discuss herein how we adapted our previously published rigid-lid, hydrostatic, Boussinesq OGCM techniques to...
