Freshwater Transport on the Continental Shelf of the Southeastern United States
… of driving forces in shelf circulation, fate of freshwater and cross-shelf exchange processes. The inner and middle shelf mean circulation was found to be driven by four major components: (1) longshore wind, (2) longshore pressure gradient, (3) onshore wind and (4) cross-shelf density gradient …

The Impact of Stratified Ambient Water On Freshwater Transport In A River Plume
… ambient water on river plume structure and freshwater transport in the plume. The Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) is applied to conduct a parameter study, where the inflow freshwater flux, inflow salinity anomaly, ambient stratification and the bottom slope are varied systematically. …

Dynamics of freshwater plumes : observations and numerical modeling of the wind-forced response and alongshore freshwater transport
A freshwater plume often forms when a river or an estuary discharges water onto the continental shelf. Freshwater plumes are ubiquitous features of the coastal ocean and usually leave a striking signature in the coastal hydrography. The present study combines both hydrographic data and idealized …

Interannual variability of the Pacific Water boundary current in the Beaufort Sea
… current. It is found that the volume, heat, and freshwater transport have all decreased drastically over the decade, by more than 80%. The most striking changes have occurred during the summer months. Using a combination of weather station data, atmospheric reanalysis fields, and concurrent …

The East Greenland Coastal Current : its structure, variability, and large-scale impact
… for the wind-induced effects, the volume transport of the combined EGC/EGCC system is found to be roughly constant (-2 Sv) over the study domain, from 68*N to Cape Farewell near 60°N. The corresponding freshwater transport increases by roughly 60% over this distance (59 to 96 mSv, …

Glacier-ocean interactions in shallow-silled fjords
… balance of marine-terminating glaciers and the transport of freshwater from the ice sheet to the ocean. Despite their importance, the complex dynamics of these systems, influenced by sill processes, freshwater inputs, and external forcing, are not well understood. This dissertation investigates …
