Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The circulation of Monterey Bay is both variable and complex, and is likely to be significantly influenced by circulation in the adjacent California current. To study this circulation a two-layer, numerical model was used. The model was forced by inflow and outflow at an open boundary that connected the Pacific Ocean with the bay. Topography representing Monterey Canyon was included in the lower layer of the model. The effects of wind and tidal forcing were not considered. Results indicate that surface circulation is strongly constrained by topography when the lower layer flow is 5 cm/sec or larger and that the flows within the bay are consistent with geostrophic, vorticity-conserving flow over bottom topography. The sensitivity of the model to the distribution and strength of inflow and outflow forcing location was investigated. The model was found to be sensitive to the location of inflow and outflow forcing and also to the inflow and outflow vertical structure. Keywords: Ocean currents; Mathematical models; Submarine canyons; Bay bottom topography; Two layer ocean model.

Book Synopsis Observations and Modeling of Currents Within the Monterey Bay During May 1988 by : Kim A. Koehler

This book was released on 1990 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: April and May of 1988 along the central California coast were characterized as a period of strong coastal upwelling produced by moderate to strong northwesterly winds present throughout the period. A product of this upwelling event was the manifestation of southward geostrophic currents which extended to a distance of approximately 50 km from the coast. From 08 to 11 May 1988, hydrographic surveying was conducted within the Monterey Bay. Internal waves, with amplitudes of up to 30 m were present throughout the period and effectively masked the mean signal, implying that averaging is essential to avoid aliasing. The current -- temperature -- depth (CTD) data were averaged to estimate the mean field during this time frame. Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) data, were also averaged. The mean flow field and dynamic topography implied anticyclonic surface flow with cyclonic flow at 200 m depth. ADCP derived mean flows compared favorably with geostrophic mean flow rate in all areas except one, the deep outflow region along the northern wall of the Canyon. Application of ocean models of boundary layer flow of the geostrophic mean field yielded flows similar to those described above. Wind stress experiments indicated that strong wind field may influence surface circulation in the Bay. Interactions between the coastal upwelling geostrophic jet and the Monterey Submarine Canyon is believed to have been a major mechanism responsible for the mean flow.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Monterey Bay is located 100 km south of San Francisco and is one of several large bays on the West Coast of the United States. This area is important due to the abundance of marine life. The regional circulation in the Monterey Bay area is tightly coupled to the California Current System (CCS) and highly correlated to the coastal upwelling. In the offshore region, flow is dominated by a broad, weak, equatorward flowing current, the California Current (CC). The CC extends offshore to a distance of 900 - 1000 km and flows year-round. Within about 100 km of the coast, two narrow poleward flowing boundary currents have been found, the Inshore Countercurrent (IC) and the California Undercurrent (CU). The IC is a weak current that varies seasonally, appearing in fall and winter, and transports shallow, upper layer water. The CU is a narrow (10-50 km) relatively weak subsurface flow and transports warm, saline equatorial water. The CU is strongest at around 100 - 300 m depth and has a mean speed of approximately 15 cm/s (Pierce et al. 2000) at all latitudes on the West Coast throughout the year.

Book Synopsis Studies of the South China Sea Circulation and Thermal Structure Using a Three Dimensional Numerical Model by : Nathan L. Edmons

This book was released on 1996 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seasonal ocean circulation and thermal structure in the South China Sea (SCS) were studied numerically using the Princeton Ocean Model (POM) with 20 km horizontal resolution and 23 sigma levels conforming to a realistic bottom topography. A sixteen month control run was performed using climatological monthly mean wind stresses and restoring type salt and heat fluxes as surface forcing terms and observational oceanic inflow/outflow at the open boundaries. The seasonally averaged effects of isolated forcing terms are presented and analyzed from the following experiments: 1) non-linear effects removed, 2) wind effects removed, 3) open boundary inflow/outflow set to zero, and 4) open boundary inflow/outflow doubled. This procedure allowed analysis of spatial and temporal contributions of the isolated parameter to the general hydrology of the SCS and some of its specific features. A coastal jet is identified and analyzed, as are a mesoscale topographic gyre and several counter currents. Non-linearity is shown to be important to the energy and volume transport of baroclinic eddy features, but otherwise insignificant. Boundary transport from open lateral boundaries is determined to be of considerable importance to summer circulation and thermal structure, with little effect found for the winter monsoon hydrology. In general, monsoonal circulation patterns and upwelling phenomena are determined and forced by the wind, while boundary transport effects play a secondary role in determining the magnitude of the circulation velocities.
