    • Flow over a shelf-submarine canyon system : a numerical study 
      Howard, Matthew Kendall (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)
      The baroclinic response due to forcing by a narrow current of a coastal ocean overlying a shelf with a submarine canyon was examined using a 1.5-layer enstrophy-conserving numerical model. Three canyon shapes were employed: ...
