Numerical Model Simulation of Offshore Flow During the Winter Season
… patterns. To obtain realistic concepts of offshore flow the sparse offshore data networks need to be supplemented by mesoscale numerical models. The problems associated with the modeling of offshore flow across the east coast of the United States during the winter season have been …

Regional flow conditions associated with stratocumulus cloud-clearing events over the southeast Atlantic
… to be excited by an interaction between offshore flow from the African continent and the stratocumulus-topped marine boundary layer. The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model is used to explore the nature of the offshore flow, which is a fundamental physical mechanism behind the …

Influence of bottom topography on cross-shelf circulation forced by time dependent wind
… and to obtain quantitative estimates of the offshore flow amplitude, its ratio to the magnitude of the alongshore currents and the alongshore correlation scale. A periodic (along the coast) channel with geometry representative of continental margins is considered. Topographic disturbances …

When an eddy encounters shelf-slope topography
… boundary. The presence of other eddies and mean flows complicates this simple picture, yet satellite images show that mesoscale eddies translating near the shelfbreak routinely affect the continental shelves of the Mid-Atlantic Bight, the Gulf of Mexico etc. The consequent cross-shelfbreak …

A climatology of the coastal low in the SW Cape
… SW Cape bear particular mention. Firstly the offshore flow at the escarpment level is weakly defined. Secondly also, the longshore spatial extent of the Coastal Low system has been estimated to have an 'inner' diameter of 150-200km and an 'outer' diameter of approximately 1000km.

The southern termination of the East Madagascar current
… a period of 13 years give evidence of eastward flow being associated with eddies in the region of the EMC termination. References have suggested that such eddies may give the appearance of a retroflection. From the observations there was ample evidence for the presence of a relatively weak …

Mixing and dynamics of the Mediterranean outflow
… the mixing and dynamics of the Mediterranean outflow. The overall structure of the outflow is consistent with that described in the historical literature (Heezen and Johnson, 1969). This data shows that the overflow transport doubles from .85 Sv to 1.9 Sv, and that the velocity weighted salinity …

Recruitment variability of Chokka squid (Loligo Reynaudii) - the role of the cold ridge, currents and retention on the Agulhas Bank, South Africa
… may be overcome by the existence of a net west-flowing shelf current on the eastern Agulhas Bank, improving survivorship of paralarvae by transporting them passively towards the copepod maximum â a concept referred to as the western transport hypothesis or WTH (hypothesis 1). CTD (Conductivity, …
