Local diurnal wind‐driven variability and upwelling in a small coastal embayment

RK Walter, EC Reid, KA Davis… - Journal of …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
The oceanic response to high‐frequency local diurnal wind forcing is examined in a small
coastal embayment located along an understudied stretch of the central California coast. We …

Rapid response to coastal upwelling in a semienclosed bay

M Gilcoto, JL Largier, ED Barton… - Geophysical …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Bays/estuaries forced by local wind show bidirectional exchange flow. When forced by
remote wind, they exhibit unidirectional flow adjustment to coastal sea level. Acoustic …

Asymmetry in the response of a stratified coastal embayment to wind forcing

FJM Davidson, RJ Greatbatch… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2001 - Wiley Online Library
We investigate mechanisms that lead to asymmetry in the response of a stratified coastal
embayment following the onset of a uniform, steady wind that is blowing both along the axis …

Coastal upwelling seasonality and variability of temperature and chlorophyll in a small coastal embayment

RK Walter, KJ Armenta, B Shearer, I Robbins… - Continental Shelf …, 2018 - Elsevier
While the seasonality of wind-driven coastal upwelling in eastern boundary upwelling
systems has long been established, many studies describe two distinct seasons (upwelling …

Spatial and temporal variability of diurnal wind forcing in the coastal ocean

E Hunter, R Chant, L Bowers, S Glenn… - Geophysical Research …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
Spatial and temporal variability of diurnal wind forcing and the coastal response is
characterized for the New York Bight from February through May, 2005. This analysis …

Atmospheric forcing of the Oregon coastal ocean during the 2001 upwelling season

JM Bane, MD Levine, RM Samelson… - Journal of …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Meteorological conditions during an intensive oceanographic observational program in May
through August 2001 along the central Oregon coast are described and related to larger …

Subtidal sea level fluctuations and their relation to atmospheric forcing along the North Carolina coast

DA Brooks - Journal of Physical Oceanography, 1978 - journals.ametsoc.org
Coastal sea level fluctuations in Onslow Bay are selectively coupled with local atmospheric
forcing variables. The coupling is strongest in period bands of 2.5–3.5 and≳ 10 days, which …

Wind to zooplankton: Ecosystem‐wide influence of seasonal wind‐driven upwelling in and around the Delaware Bay

YG Voynova, MJ Oliver, JH Sharp - Journal of Geophysical …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
We synthesized historical records of wind, temperature, nutrients, phytoplankton, and
zooplankton to produce a climatological view of the biological response to upwelling in an …

Spatial differences in thermal structure and variability within a small bay: interplay of diurnal winds and tides

J Bonicelli, C Moffat, SA Navarrete, JL Largier… - Continental Shelf …, 2014 - Elsevier
We characterize diurnal and semidiurnal temporal variability of the spring and summer near-
shore hydrographic structure and circulation in Cartagena Bay, a small open bay in central …

Hydrodynamic states in a wind-driven microtidal estuary (Alfacs Bay)

C Llebot, FJ Rueda, J Solé, ML Artigas… - Journal of Sea Research, 2014 - Elsevier
A conceptual model of the physical behavior of a shallow (6 m deep) micro-tidal estuary
(Alfacs Bay) is proposed, based on the interpretation of a field data set, and subsequently …
