The Internal Tide On Georges Bank, R. F. Marsden Jan 1986

The Internal Tide On Georges Bank, R. F. Marsden

Journal of Marine Research

Data from a section of eleven current meters oriented across-isobaths at three locations on Georges Bank were examined. On the bank, the M2 tidal currents were barotropic and were in close agreement with the Greenberg (1983) numerical model of the Gulf of Maine. On the slope, the M2 tidal current contained 70° phase shifts for 35 m changes in depth. The results from the model were used to separate currents due to the internal and surface tides. It was found that amplitude of the tidal velocities associated with the baroclinic component of the internal tide were as large as for …


Hindcasting Of Hurricane Characteristics And Observed Storm Damage On A Fringing Reef, Jamaica, West Indies, Björn Kjerfve, K. E. Magill, J. W. Porter, J. D. Woodley Jan 1986

Hindcasting Of Hurricane Characteristics And Observed Storm Damage On A Fringing Reef, Jamaica, West Indies, Björn Kjerfve, K. E. Magill, J. W. Porter, J. D. Woodley

Journal of Marine Research

Hurricane Allen is one of the most severe hurricanes on record and caused extensive damage throughout the Caribbean in early August 1980. Coral reefs along the north coast of Jamaica were devastated by the hurricane-induced waves. As in the case of most hurricanes, no wave measurements were made. We have computed the wind field and hindcast the deep water wave characteristics as the storm impacted the fringing reef at Discovery Bay on the north central coast of Jamaica. The deep water waves propagated into shallow water on the forereef and transformed as a result of shoaling and refraction. We found …


Early Diagenesis In Bioadvective Sediments: Relationships Between The Diagenesis Of Beryllium-7, Sediment Reworking Rates, And The Abundance Of Conveyor-Belt Deposit-Feeders, Donald L. Rice Jan 1986

Early Diagenesis In Bioadvective Sediments: Relationships Between The Diagenesis Of Beryllium-7, Sediment Reworking Rates, And The Abundance Of Conveyor-Belt Deposit-Feeders, Donald L. Rice

Journal of Marine Research

Laboratory experimentation and field sampling programs were used to examine the contribution of the conveyor-belt feeding/biodeposition activity of orbiniid polychaetes, Scoloplos spp., to bioturbation in intertidal sediments of Lowes Cove, Maine. Laboratory measurements of particle reworking rates were incorporated into steady-state and transient-state diagenetic models to predict subduction velocities of marker layers in incubated cores from Lowes Cove and to predict the in situ activity-depth profile of the radionuclide Be-7 (half-life = 53.3 d), a useful, naturally-occurring tracer of rapid mixing processes.Incubated cores containing a complete macrofauna from the Cove were mixed bioadvectively with little random mixing (peak-broadening of the …


Time Scales And Structure Of Topographic Rossby Waves And Meanders In The Deep Gulf Stream, W. E. Johns, D. R. Watts Jan 1986

Time Scales And Structure Of Topographic Rossby Waves And Meanders In The Deep Gulf Stream, W. E. Johns, D. R. Watts

Journal of Marine Research

During July–November 1982, current and temperature records were collected from six current meters spanning the lower 2000 m of the water column on two moorings in the Gulf Stream northeast of Cape Hatteras, N.C. Frequency domain EOF analysis of the velocity cross-spectra reveals that there are two kinematically distinct wave processes present in the subinertial range, identifiable as topographic Rossby wave and meander-associated motions, which are energetically dominant at periods longer than and shorter than 14 days, respectively.Simultaneous thermocline depth measurements obtained using inverted echo sounders show that the low-frequency topographic Rossby wave motions are uncoupled with near-surface displacements of …


On The Upwelling Circulation Over The Wide Shelf Off Peru: 2. Vertical Velocities, Internal Mixing And Heat Balance, Gary Shaffer Jan 1986

On The Upwelling Circulation Over The Wide Shelf Off Peru: 2. Vertical Velocities, Internal Mixing And Heat Balance, Gary Shaffer

Journal of Marine Research

An analysis is presented of the mean coastal upwelling circulation over the wide shelf off Peru based on the current and temperature profiling measurements described in Shaffer (1982). The natural coordinate conservation method (NCCM) in temperature (T) space is applied to boxes formed from stations along two lines with 60 km alongshore separation. Mean distributions in x (cross-shelf coordinate) and T are obtained for diapycnal advection and mixing. The vertical component of isopycnal flow is also calculated and found to be considerably less than vertical, diapycnal flow in this region of strong upwelling and internal mixing.Richardson numbers ( …


Seabird Affinities For Gulf Stream Frontal Eddies: Responses Of Mobile Marine Consumers To Episodic Upwelling, J. Christopher Haney Jan 1986

Seabird Affinities For Gulf Stream Frontal Eddies: Responses Of Mobile Marine Consumers To Episodic Upwelling, J. Christopher Haney

Journal of Marine Research

This study combined ship-board counts of seabirds with satellite hydrography to determine whether Gulf Stream frontal eddies influenced spatial and seasonal patterns of apex consumers on the southeastern United States continental shelf and slope. Stratified sampling indicated seabird densities at eddies were 7–15 × higher than in resident shelf and Gulf Stream water, ranging from 2.31–10.91 birds km−2 compared to 0.15–1.51 birds km−2 in noneddy regions. At any given time eddies covered 3–17% of the outer shelf and upper slope, yet 28–59% of total seabird numbers in this domain aggregated within areas influenced by eddies.Gulf stream eddies consist …


Assessing The Energetics And Dynamics Of The Gulf Stream At 68w From Moored Current Measurements, Melinda M. Hall Jan 1986

Assessing The Energetics And Dynamics Of The Gulf Stream At 68w From Moored Current Measurements, Melinda M. Hall

Journal of Marine Research

The energetics and dynamics of the Gulf Stream at 68W have been investigated using year-long time series of velocity and temperature throughout the water column. The major results that have emerged are as follows: (1) There is a net conversion of mean to eddy kinetic and potential energies, the barotropic mechanism being almost twice as strong as the baroclinic. These energy exchanges are dominated by what is happening in the upper 1000 m of the water column. (2) Comparison with other studies suggests that the mooring site may be characterized as a region of downstream spatial growth in eddy energy, …


The Meteorologically Driven Circulation In Mid-Chesapeake Bay, Mário E. C. Vieira Jan 1986

The Meteorologically Driven Circulation In Mid-Chesapeake Bay, Mário E. C. Vieira

Journal of Marine Research

Utilizing 20 days of sea level elevation and current records in mid-Chesapeake Bay, the frequency structure of the meteorological forcing is investigated. For periods longer than 8 days the residual sea level inside the Bay is coupled to the coastal elevation forced by the onshore-offshore component of the wind, while at the 3–8 day scale the system was driven by the local longitudinal wind component. It is suggested, however, that the partition of energy between the longitudinal and lateral wind components may determine whether the Bay responds locally to the wind or to the coastal elevations. The 2–2.5 day sea …


On The Existence Of An Ei Niño-Type Phenomenon In The Benguela System, L. V. Shannon, A. J. Boyd, G. B. Brundrit, J. Taunton-Clark Jan 1986

On The Existence Of An Ei Niño-Type Phenomenon In The Benguela System, L. V. Shannon, A. J. Boyd, G. B. Brundrit, J. Taunton-Clark

Journal of Marine Research

Since the early 1950s, although there have been several warm and cool periods in the Benguela region off southwestern Africa, e.g. the warm event in the southern part of the system during the austral summer of 1982/83, only two events which approximate to an El Niño-type situation have occurred, viz in 1963 and in 1984. During the 1963 event temperatures 2–4°C and salinities 0.1–0.2 × 10−3 above normal were recorded in the upper 50 m off Namibia up to at least 150 km offshore. The pressure adjusted sea level during 1963 was on average 4 cm above the …

A Variational Method For Inverting Hydrographic Data, Christine Provost, Rick Salmon Jan 1986

A Variational Method For Inverting Hydrographic Data, Christine Provost, Rick Salmon

Journal of Marine Research

We present a new method for estimating the three-dimensional field of geostrophic velocity from hydrographic station data. Very simply, we ask for the smoothest velocity field (in the sense of an arbitrarily defined norm) which is consistent with the data and with selected approximate dynamical constraints to within prescribed misfits, which, we will argue, should never be zero. The misfits represent errors in the data and in the approximate dynamical constraints. By varying the misfits relatively to one another, we explore the full envelope of physically plausible estimates of the average geostrophic flow. We illustrate the method by application to …

Random Cell Chi-Square Diagnostic Tests For Econometric Models: I. Introduction And Applications, Donald W.K. Andrews Sep 1985

Random Cell Chi-Square Diagnostic Tests For Econometric Models: I. Introduction And Applications, Donald W.K. Andrews

Cowles Foundation Discussion Papers

This paper and its sequel, Andrews [4], extend the Pearson chi-square testing method to non-dynamic parametric econometric models, in particular, models with covariates. The present paper introduced the test and discusses a wide variety of applications. Andrews [4] establishes the asymptotic properties of the test, by extending recent probabilistic results for the weak convergence of empirical processes indexed by sets. The chi-square test that is introduced can be used to test goodness-of-fit of a parametric model, as well as to test particular aspects of the parametric model that are of interest. In the event of rejection of the null hypothesis …
