Sea level and circulation variability of the Gulf of Carpentaria; influence of the Madden-Julian Oscillation and the adjacent deep ocean
The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is a significant contributing factor to intraseasonal variability in both the tropical and extratropical atmosphere and ocean. Sea level and circulation variations in the Gulf of Carpentaria ... -
Subtidal circulation on the Scotian Shelf: assessing the hindcast skill of a linear, barotropic model
Currents measured during the winter of 1985-1986 by four moorings on the inner Scotian Shelf are used to assess the hindcast skill of a three-dimensional circulation model forced by local wind stress and coastal sea level. ... -
Surface heat flux, horizontal advection, and the seasonal evolution of water temperature on the Scotian Shelf
Seasonal temperature variations on the Scotian Shelf penetrate to a depth of about 75 m. The net surface heat flux (Q) can explain about 85% of the annual cycle in the rate of change of mean temperature over this depth ... -
Tide-surge interaction off the east coast of Canada and northeastern United States
[1] Sea level observations and a dynamical model are used to investigate tide-surge interaction in the coastal waters off the east coast of Canada and northern USA. The study is motivated in part by the need to improve ... -

Tropical Pacific Ocean and the Madden-Julian Oscillation: Role of wind and buoyancy forcing
A global ocean circulation model is used to examine the dynamical response of the tropical Pacific Ocean to forcing associated with the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO). Model sensitivity experiments first reveal that ...
