Abstract:

Large scale global oceanic circulation redistributes heat and freshwater and therefore affects global climate. One of its main forcing mechanisms is, in addition to surface heat and freshwater fluxes, the diapycnal (across lines of equal density) mixing in the ocean interior. The energy needed to drive the mixing processes is mainly provided by tides and wind [Wunsch, 2002]. It is transformed into internal wave energy, cascading through a range of smaller scales leading finally into turbulence and molecular dissipation. Water masses in the ocean are stratified and often separated by relatively

Abstract:

The development of a 26MHz pulsed Doppler radar system for remote sensing of ocean surface conditions is described. This radar obtains Doppler spectra of echoes from ocean waves within the range 10-40 km from the shore. From these Doppler spectra it is possible to estimate oceanographic parameters such as sea state, wind speed, wind direction, radial components of current velocities and properties of swell. The work concentrates on the radar design principles and includes a detailed study of the effect of ground wave propagation conditions on the performance of radar systems of this type. Res

Within the context of oceanographic research on northern estuaries in James Bay and Hudson Bay, and in relation with hydroelectric developments and their impact on the physical environment, two studies were undertaken.

Abstract:

High Frequency radar systems provide a unique opportunity to measure evolving littoral oceanic dynamics at high temporal and spatial resolution. Backscattered electromagnetic signals from ocean waves are modulated by Bragg resonant scattering. A perturbation analysis yields an expression for the spectral content of radar signals which can be exploited to provide estimates of oceanographic parameters: the radial component of surface current can be extracted from the frequency locations of the first order peaks; the ocean wave directional spectrum is related to the second order continuum via a n

The model for a wind-driven current with depth-dependent eddy viscosity is developed as a complex velocity formulation and a coupled system formulation.

This entirely new technique is applied to the model for a wind-driven current with time-dependent viscosity. Several numerical examples are used to test the performance of the method.

Abstract:

Compared to neighbouring regions of ocean, the south coast of Western Australia (WA) has received relatively little scientific attention despite a range of Australian Commonwealth marine protected areas having been established in the region as of 2012. The ocean off the south coast of WA is characterised by a canyon-dense continental shelf edge including the Bremer Canyon, a shelf edge canyon of approximately 8 km width. There are also two main currents in the region, the eastward flowing Leeuwin Current (LC) situated above the continental shelf edge, and the westward flowing Flinders Current

The larvae of coastal species interact with nearshore currents that are complex and can alter dispersal.

Using holey sock drogues at 1.5 m and 5.5 m depths and surface drifters at 10 cm depth, I found that, when the front was present, water at 1.5 m was retained within the bay whereas water was exchanged across the front at a depth of 5.5 m.

A multidisciplinary study the oceanography of the Pontevedra Ria (NW Spain), including hydrography, biogeochemistiy and biogeochemical modelling, has been performed.

Intrusions of the Poleward Current were also detected during winter. A stratified box model approach predicted that upwelling water fluxes into the ria of 2-4x10³ m³ s-1, of which >30% rises to the surface waters inside the ria. Freshwater residence time varied fro

The interaction of buoyancy, topography, and oscillating wind stress simulated the upwelling in a reduced gravity model.

Fimbul Ice Shelf and nearby ice shelves might also play a significant regional role: although no bottom water is produced in this area, it is thought that Fimbul Ice Shelf and nearby ice shelves precondition the shelf waters tha
