An Investigation of the Variability of Tides in the Upper Mesosphere (Meteor Radar)
… procedures in determining upper mesospheric tides. Various wind models such as planetary waves, gravity waves, and turbulence are tested and it is found that for reasonable values of atmospheric variance the two-dimensional standard deviation of the tidal estimator is at most 8 ms('-1). The …

On the dynamics of shallow water currents in Massachusetts Bay and on the New England continental shelf
… behavior. Two simple linear models of the semidiurnal tide on the continental shelf are used to estimate the vertical turbulent eddy viscosity, a linear bottom drag coefficient, and the change in the bottom drag coefficient during storms. The analytic solution for the response of a …

Low Frequency Edge Waves and Their Role In Coastal Dynamics
… response to tidal and atmospheric forcing. A semidiurnal tide traveling over the continental shelf and slope can be propagated by a Hybrid Kelvin-Edge Wave (HKEW), which is the fundamental mode propagating only downstream (Kelvin wave direction). A semi-analytical parameter study of the impact …

Analysis and interpretation of tidal currents in the coastal boundary layer
… appear to be important. One of these, the tides, is of particular interest because their deterministic nature allows unusually thorough analysis from short time series, and because they tend to obscure the other processes. The Coastal Boundary Layer Transect (COBOLT) experiment was …

Inner Shelf Circulation in Coastal Virginia: A Data Assimilation Approach
… scales (3–5 km). In terms of tidal flows, the semidiurnal constituent was dominant, with magnitudes of 30 cm s<sup>−1</sup>. The diurnal constituent was less than 10 cm s−1. The propagation of the semidiurnal tide could be explained as combination of a Kelvin and a Poincaré wave that transform …

The vertical propagation of inertial waves in the ocean
… results show that the contribution of the semidiurnal tide to the energy of the profiles is restricted to long vertical wave lengths.

Land and Sea Breeze Characteristics Off the West Coast of Sumatra
The land breeze is a ubiquitous phenomenon along coastal regions of the Maritime Continent Islands. Previous studies have described the land breeze using the temperature difference observed between the ocean and land surface. Other studies have focused on the land breeze behavior during different …
