Cell Merging And The Jet/Downwelling Ratio In Langmuir Circulation, Ming Li, Chris Garrett

Journal of Marine Research

The Craik-Leibovich equations for Langmuir circulation have been integrated numerically to investigate the cell merging process as well as the strength and structure of the cells. We find that pairs of counterrotating vortices cancel each other, leading to a growth in scale of the dominant vortices. However, when there is no external forcing, vortices of opposite sign do not merge irrespective of the vortex size and circulation strength. The merging of Langmuir cells, or rather the cancellation of counterrotating vortices, is thus different from the amalgamation of like-signed vortices in two-dimensional turbulence. The forcing due to the Stokes drift plays …

Coupled Effects Of Vertical Mixing And Benthic Grazing On Phytoplankton Populations In Shallow, Turbid Estuaries, Jeffrey R. Koseff, Jacqueline K. Holen, Stephen G. Monismith, James E. Cloern

Journal of Marine Research

Coastal ocean waters tend to have very different patterns of phytoplankton biomass variability from the open ocean, and the connections between physical variability and phytoplankton bloom dynamics are less well established for these shallow systems. Predictions of biological responses to physical variability in these environments is inherently difficult because the recurrent seasonal patterns of mixing are complicated by aperiodic fluctuations in river discharge and the high-frequency components of tidal variability. We might expect, then, less predictable and more complex bloom dynamics in these shallow coastal systems compared with the open ocean. Given this complex and dynamic physical environment, can we …

Displacement Of Water Masses And Remineralization Rates Off The Iberian Peninsula By Nutrient Anomalies, Fiz F. Perez, C. Mouriño, F. Fraga, Aida F. Rios

Journal of Marine Research

Temperature, salinity, oxygen, nutrients and CO₂ data obtained in the areas west and north of the Iberian Peninsula have been analyzed. We assume that the composite parameters such as Broecker's “NO” and “PO” and our own “CAO” and “SiO” are conservative for our water mass analysis. We demonstrate that the observations can be well represented by mixing between five end-members and estimate the relative proportions of these end-members in waters between 40N and 47N. Furthermore, based upon the differences between the observed and computed concentrations of oxygen and nutrients, the approximate rates of oxygen utilization and nutrient production in …

Phytoplankton Bloom And The Vertical Thermal Structure Of The Upper Ocean, Malgorzata Stramska, Tommy D. Dickey

Journal of Marine Research

Local heating rate within the oceanic mixed layer (ML) depends not only on the amount of solar radiation incident on the sea surface, but also on the vertical distribution of the irradiance in the water column. We have evaluated the effect of a phytoplankton bloom on mixed layer depth and temperature at a high latitude site near Iceland. The level 2½ version of the Mellor-Yamada (1982) turbulence scheme has been modified to include the vertical distribution of irradiance. This has allowed the investigation of the ML temperature and stability structure resulting from both physical and biological effects. An important part …

Low-Density Particles As Potential Nitrogenous Foods For Benthos, Lawrence M. Mayer, Peter A. Jumars, Gary L. Taghon, Stephen A. Macko, Susan Trumbore

Journal of Marine Research

The demonstrated bias of both macrobenthos and fluids to mobilize low-density particles leads to their potential importance as nutritional materials in benthic systems. We fractionated sediments from three coastal regions into low- and high-density separates, and examined both their organic geochemical characteristics and effects on ingestion rates of a deposit feeder. The low-density separates were highly enriched in total organic matter relative to the high-density phases. Enzymatically hydrolyzable protein concentrations in low-density separates were as much as 57-fold higher than the corresponding high-density separates, though some samples from Puget Sound and the Mediterranean Sea showed no enrichment at all. Low-density …

The Recent Return Of The Alaskan Stream To Near Strait, R. K. Reed, P. J. Stabeno

Journal of Marine Research

A hydrocast survey was conducted near the western Aleutian Islands and in the Bering Sea in September 1992. Presence of the Alaskan Stream was indicated by temperatures > 4°C to depths in excess of 200 m. Geopotential topography showed the Alaskan Stream flowing through Near Strait into the Bering Sea, with branches also flowing northward through Amchitka and Buldir passes. Satellite-tracked drifter paths were in general agreement with these features. Transport through Near Strait was ≈5 × 10⁶ m³ s⁻¹. Previous research indicated that the Stream had been absent from the Strait for more than a year. …

Steady Wind Forcing Of A Density Front Over A Circular Bank, Glen Gawarkiewicz

Journal of Marine Research

The response of a density front along the edge of a circular bank to steady wind forcing is examined using a primitive equation numerical model. Initially, the fluid is at rest with relatively light, vertically homogeneous water over the bank. The density field is allowed to adjust geostrophically and frictionally for ten days, after which a spatially uniform wind stress is applied for three days. The resulting surface velocity field over the bank is asymmetrical, with a relative maximum on the downwind side of the bank to the left of the wind direction and a relative minimum on the upwind …

The Nonlinear Response Of An Equatorial Ocean To Oscillatory Forcing, Luanne Thompson, Mitsuhiro Kawase

Journal of Marine Research

The effect of upper ocean variability on deep equatorial flow is simulated by prescribing a forcing wave field near the eastern boundary in a one and a half layer shallow water model. Equatorially trapped long Rossby waves are generated by the forcing, have approximately linear dynamics, and propagate westward. Near the western boundary the dynamics are nonlinear, and there is a large mean flow. With forcing symmetric about the equator, the nonlinear response has two distinct phases. When the interior flow in the vicinity of the equator is westward near the western boundary, a poleward flowing western boundary current forms. …
