Interaction of an eddy with a continental slope
… a mesoscale eddy interacting with an exponential continental shelf/slope topography on both f and β-planes. The f-plane model recasts the important features of chapter two. The roles of the eddy size and strength and the geometry of topography are studied. It is seen that the multiple anticyclonic …

Sedimentary processes on the continental slope off New England
… detailed study of a small (5000 km2) area of the continental slope south of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, was conducted. Bathymetry, 3.5 kHz profiles, seismic profiles, suspended sediment analysis, bottom photographs, television laboratory flume experiments, studies of surface sediments, and piston …

Cenozoic geology of the continental slope and rise off western Nova Scotia
The outer continental margin of Nova Scotia is divided by a diapir province, 40-110 km wide and ~1000km long, that trends subparallel to the shelf edge along the upper continental rise and slope. The growth pattern for a small region of this margin (61°-64°W) during the Late Cretaceous and Cenozoic …

Sedimentology and micropalaeontology of gravity cores from the N.E. Atlantic continental slope south west of Ireland
Eleven gravity cores from the continental margin off Eire and Land's End (SW England) were examined and found to document the major trends of the Late Pleistocene climate. Several stratigraphic indicators; - carbonate content, sediment texture, grain size, composition, nature of terrigenous …

A late quaternary history of Agulhas-Benguela interactions from two sediment cores on the western continental slope of South Africa
… from the Agulhas Bank and Olifants River continental slopes of South Africa. The stable oxygen isotope record of the benthic foraminifer, Cibicidoides wuellerstorfi, and the planktonic taxon, Globorotalia inflata, provide the stratigraphic framework from which the age models were created. …

Dynamics of North Atlantic western boundary currents
… Measurements of the DWBC at Line W, on the continental slope southeast of New England, reveal water mass changes that are consistent with changes in the Labrador Sea, one of the sources of deep water thousands of kilometers upstream. Coherent patterns of change are also found along the path …

Late Weichselian and Holocene Glacimarine Sedimentation and Environments in Kejser Franz Josephs Fjord and On The Adjacent Continental Margin, East Greenland
… Kejser Franz Josephs Fjord and on the adjacent continental margin of East Greenland during the Late Weichselian and Holocene. A variety of techniques are adpoted in this study in order to address the objectives outlined previously. The study is based on a suite of 8 cores from the, mid to outer …

The influence of a steady baroclinic deep ocean on the shelf
… be responsible for the mean flow on the shallow continental shelf is examined using steady, boundary forced models which incorporate bottom friction. One set of models, for a vertically well mixed shelf, includes the horizontal advection of density. The second set of models comprises a …

Geomorfologia del Margine Continentale della Sardegna meridionale
… study submitted in this thesis is related to the continental margin of southern Sardinia, including the continental platform and the upper portion of the continental slope to a depth of about 2000 meters, is included within the Gulf of Cagliari, limited to the west by Capo Teulada and on the east …

Overflows and upper ocean interaction : a mechanism for the Azores Current
… the open ocean as dense gravity currents down a continental slope and play a crucial role in the deep ocean circulation. To understand the dynamics of these overflows, previous studies simplified their dynamics by treating the overlying ocean as inactive. This simplification may be a first …

Moored observations of shelfbreak processes at the inflow to and outflow from the Arctic Ocean
… arrays extending from the outer shelf to the mid continental slope are used to elucidate shelf-basin exchange at the inflow to and the outflow from the Arctic Ocean. Pacific Water entering the Arctic Ocean forms the Western Arctic shelfbreak current along the Beaufort Sea slope. Data from the …

Observations of the California Countercurrent
… 150 - 350 m, are discussed for a region over the continental slope off Cape San Martin, California from January 1979 to April 1980. Current vector time series were constructed from the data and compared to a local upwelling index . Progressive vector diagrams of the data were also constructed, and …
