Sea level and the role of coastal trapped waves in mediating the influence of the open ocean on the coast

CW Hughes, I Fukumori, SM Griffies… - Surveys in …, 2019 - Springer
The fact that ocean currents must flow parallel to the coast leads to the dynamics of coastal
sea level being quite different from the dynamics in the open ocean. The coastal influence of …

[HTML][HTML] The effect of vertical coordinates on the accuracy of a shelf sea model

A Wise, J Harle, D Bruciaferri, E O'Dea, J Polton - Ocean Modelling, 2022 - Elsevier
The vertical coordinates (VC) are one of the most important set of configuration options of an
ocean model. Optimisation is, however, a non-trivial exercise. We compare nine …

continental shelf between 34° S and 11° S using in situ data combined with the outputs from …

Relative contributions of open‐ocean forcing and local wind to sea level variability along the west coasts of ocean basins

W Lin, H Lin, J Hu, L Huang - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
This study aims to reconstruct sea level at the coast by quantifying relative contributions of
local wind forcing and the penetrated open‐ocean signals, and thus to build a dynamical …

J Oelsmann, FM Calafat, M Passaro… - Journal of …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Sea level variations in the coastal zone can differ significantly from those in the open ocean
and can be highly spatiotemporally coherent in the alongshore direction. Yet, where and …

Using shelf‐edge transport composition and sensitivity experiments to understand processes driving sea level on the Northwest European shelf

A Wise, FM Calafat, CW Hughes… - Journal of …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
