THE PHYSICAL processes occurring in fiords have attracted oceanographers for over a
century. Early observations in Scandinavian t~ ords by EKMAN (1875), GRAU (1900) …

The reality of upstream blocking in stratified flows has been recognized for many years. If a
stratified flow with Brunt-Viiiseilii frequency N (N':-glp dpldz, where p is the fluid density, g …

Publisher Summary The chapter reviews the meteorological phenomena that are associated
with topography. The study of airflow past mountains is complicated by the wide range of …

This study investigates the recently identified phenomenon whereby a forcing disturbance
moving steadily with a transcritical velocity in shallow water can generate, periodically, a …

Recent observations and numerical experiments indicate that during severe downslope
windstorms, a large region of slow turbulent air develops in the middle and upper …

Active deepening of tidal channels usually results in the alteration of the vertical and the
horizontal tide. This may lead to concurrent significant increases in mean suspended matter …

The flow of a stratified fluid over topography is considered in the long-wavelength weakly
nonlinear limit for the case when the flow is near resonance; that is, the basic flow speed is …

Observations of tidally driven flow of stratified water over a sill in Knight Inlet, British
Columbia, have revealed a broad variety of different interactions depending upon the …

Abstract The Alpine Experiment (ALPEX) has revealed that low-level air is typically diverted
around the Alps without reaching the mountaintop. In pursuit of an understanding of the …

Stratified Flows is the second edition of the book Dynamics of Nonhomogenous Fluids. This
book discusses the flow of a fluid of variable density or entropy in a gravitational field. In this …
