Analysis of ocean waves and wave forces by a filtering technique
(Texas A&M University, 1955) -
A baroclinic prognostic numerical model of the circulation in the Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1970)Considered is a two-layer prognostic model of the circulation in the Gulf of Mexico. This two-layer model represents the simplest finite difference approximation to the continuously stratified real ocean. The equations of ... -
Characterizing the Weather Band Variability of the Texas Coastal Current
(2014-07-17)Current velocities from 21 years (1992-2012) of near-continuous observations are used to investigate the Texas Coastal Current on the western Texas-Louisiana continental shelf in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. Observations ... -
Coastal Hypoxia on the Texas Shelf: An Ocean Observing and Management Approach to Improving Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia Monitoring
(2013-05-07)A combination of in situ sampling and real-time ocean observations was used to investigate the processes responsible for the formation and the areal extent of Texas coastal hypoxia from 2002 to 2011. In situ sampling, ... -
Cyclonic ring spin-down in the North Atlantic
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1970)A study of the spin-down mechanism of the North Atlantic cyclonic rings is undertaken. Both data analysis and numerical modelling are employed to describe the decay process. The numerical studies consider a stationary, ... -
The development of an optimized computer simulation model for heat and moisture transfer in soils
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1963)Develops a computer model in order to predict the flow of water through soil and the effect of temperature gradients upon the movement of water in soil. The model is for two-dimensional flow of moisture and temperature, ... -
Estimates of diurnal tidal volume transports through the Yucatan Channel
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1972)A bottom-anchored, taut-wire mooring system, employing Richardson-type current meters, was used to obtain for 12.5 days from 6 June to 19 June 1969 direct current measurements at two depth-levels (72 m and 392 m) in the ... -
The formation of stationary quasi-geostrophic disturbances downstream from a cylindrical island placed in an eastward current on the beta plane
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1970) -
The inverse tsunami problem for symmetric islands of simple shape
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1970)The problem investigated in this paper is that of estimating the deep water signature of a tsunami based on an observed marigram in the immediate vicinity of an island. The basic assumption is made that the incident tsunami ... -
The non-linear transient response of a continuously stratified, baroclinic ocean to stationary and transitory axially-symmetric atmospheric cyclones
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1972)Considered in the present study is the temporal and spatial theoretical description of circulation and mixing of sea water induced in an initially motionless, continuously stratified, uniformly rotating, baroclinic ocean ... -
On steady, wind-driven ocean currents in a stratified model of two moving layers
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1966)Considered are steady, wind-driven currents in a two-layer model ocean, confined within a rectangular basin with a horizontal sea bed. The horizontal velocities are assumed independent of elevation within each layer of ... -
The salinity regime and exchange characteristics of a shallow coastal bay system
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1963)A shallow coastal bay system, consisting of several bay units each of which is characterized by quasi-homogeneous salinity and by relatively restricted interconnecting tidal passes, has been investigated with respect to ... -
Turbulence Mixing and Transport Mechanisms in a Coastal Ecosystem: Bay of La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico
(2014-02-10)ABSTRACT Turbulence Mixing and Transport Mechanisms in a Coastal Ecosystem: Bay of La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico. (May 2014) Burkely Ashton Pettijohn Department of Marine Sciences Texas A&M University Research ...
