The vertical structure of the wind-driven circulation
… of the currents in the Sverdrup interior of a wind-driven gyre are discussed. A variety of simple analytic models suggest that the subsurface geostrophic contours in a wind gyre are closed and so the flow in these regions is not determined by lateral boundary conditions. Instead a turbulent, …

Wind-driven circulation on a shallow, stratified shelf
… between the surface heat flux and the wind orientation. This has implications for the heat balance of the inner shelf, which is considered next. During stratified conditions (observed during August 1994), cross-shelf heat fluxes due to Ekman dynamics dominate variation in heat content …

Modeling on single-sided wind-driven natural ventilation
… of the buildings use hopper, awning or casement windows. Therefore, based on the newly-developed model, we modified it to predict the ventilation rate for these windows types. In order to understand the flow characteristics around the complex openings, we used the CFD to generate database for …

Wind-driven circulation on a shallow, stratified shelf
A detailed examination of the development of a deep convection event observed in the Greenland Sea in 1988-89 is carried out through a combination of modeling, scale estimates, and data analysis. We develop a prognostic one-dimensional mixed layer model which is coupled to a thermodynamic ice …

The Impact of Wind-Driven Mixing in the Barents Sea
… ice cover is predicted to increase the extent of wind<br/>forcing on the Arctic Ocean, compounded by the projected increase in<br/>frequency of storms. Increased wind forcing is likely to lead to enhanced<br/>mixing and associated fluxes of nutrients and heat to the surface from warmer<br/>and …

Multiple equilibria and low-frequency variability of wind-driven ocean models
… steady states of two models of the double-gyre wind-driven ocean circulation are studied. The link between the steady state solutions of the models and their time-mean and low-frequency variability is explored to test the hypothesis that both stable and unstable fixed points influence shape the …

Eddies and friction : removal of vorticity from the wind-driven gyre
… with promise for eddy parameterization, eddy-driven gyres rotating opposite the wind, and temporal complexity including basin resonances. I also demonstrate that multiple-gyre calculations have weaker mean circulation than single-gyres with the same viscosity and subtropical forcing. Despite …

Seasonal and interannual variability of wind-driven upwelling at Lüderitz, Namibia
… this study is to examine the variability in the wind regime at diurnal, seasonal, interannual and interdecadal time scales. Meteorological measurements including wind speed, wind direction and air pressure collected at Dias Point Lighthouse (260 38.094'S 150 05.612'E) at hourly to eight-hourly …

Experimental simulation of wind driven cross-ventilation in a naturally ventilated building
… through a building due to natural wind. The wind driver device was designed for use with a one tenth scale model of an open floor plan office building in Luton, England. The air flow patterns produced by the wind driver were observed, and the uniformity of the velocity of the flows …

Numerical Modelling of Wind-driven Hydrodynamics in Shallow Wastewater Ponds and Coastal Estuaries
… Delft3D model. Hydrodynamics were primarily wind-driven, with smaller contributions from outflows, and circulation patterns were classified into four hydraulic regimes. Vertical temperature differences of up to 8.0°C over the 1.7 m depth between the surface and bed were observed during an …

Wind-Driven Sea Surface Wave and Coastal Water Level Dynamics Across Different Spatial Scales
Wind-generated surface waves can propagate over long distances towards vulnerable coastal regions. Complex factors that impact the properties of surface waves, including wind, topography, and water levels, must be incorporated into numerical models to achieve accurate simulations of the wave …

Wind-driven upwelling on the Western Agulhas Bank: a study using ERA5 and WASA3 winds
… This study compares two different modelled wind products, ERA5 (31 km resolution) and WASA3 (3.33 km resolution), assessing coastal winddriven upwelling in the WAB. Wind-driven upwelling, derived from the higher resolution WASA3 dataset is used to identify and investigate the seasonality of …
