Abstract The mechanisms and geographic distribution of global tidal dissipation in barotropic models are examined using a high resolution unstructured mesh finite element model. Mesh varies between 2 25 km is especially focused on inner shelves steep bathymetric gradients. Tidal response sensitivities to changes put into context frictional processes. We confirm that the Ronne Ice Shelf dramatically affects Atlantic tides but also find bathymetry Hudson Bay system critical control. follow...
Abstract Regional sediment resuspension and transport are examined as Hurricane Sandy made landfall on the Mid‐Atlantic Bight (MAB) in October 2012. A Teledyne‐Webb Slocum glider, equipped with a Nortek Aquadopp current profiler, was deployed continental shelf ahead of storm, is used to validate routines coupled Ocean Modeling System (ROMS). The glider 25 October, 5 days before southern New Jersey (NJ) flew along 40 m isobath south Hudson Shelf Valley. We optical acoustic backscatter compare...
Cold wakes left behind by tropical cyclones (TCs) have been documented since the 1940s. Many questions remain, however, regarding details of processes creating these cold and their in-storm feedbacks onto cyclone intensity. This largely reflects a paucity measurements within ocean, especially during storms. Moreover, bulk TC research efforts investigated deep ocean processes—where spend vast majority lifetimes—and very little attention has paid to coastal despite critical importance...
Abstract Hurricane Sandy (2012) was the second costliest tropical cyclone to impact United States and resulted in numerous lives lost due its high winds catastrophic storm surges. Despite impacts little research has been performed on circulation continental shelf as made landfall. In this study, integrated ocean observing assets regional modeling were used investigate coastal response Sandy's large wind field. unique cross‐shelf track, size, slow speed along‐shelf stress over for nearly 48 h...
Abstract Large uncertainty in the predicted intensity of tropical cyclones (TCs) persists compared to steadily improving skill TC tracks. This has its most significant implications coastal zone, where impacts populated shorelines are greatest. Recent studies have demonstrated that rapid ahead‐of‐eye‐center cooling a stratified ocean can impact on hurricane forecasts. Using observation‐validated, high‐resolution modeling, processes observed two U.S. Mid‐Atlantic hurricanes were investigated:...

Abstract Sea breezes occur nearly daily in the U.S. Mid‐Atlantic summer during high electricity demand periods, and thus have important implications for burgeoning offshore wind energy industry. The sea breeze's component is poorly understood ill defined relative to its onshore counterpart. Here a new Lagrangian method not yet readily used study breeze, dispersion, was validated applied Weather Research Forecasting model Mid‐Atlantic. This characterize convergent divergent breeze extents...
The coastal northeast United States was heavily impacted by hurricanes Irene and Sandy. Track forecasts for both were quite accurate days in advance. Intensity forecasts, however, less accurate, with the intensity of significantly over-predicted, rapid acceleration intensification Sandy just before landfall under-predicted. By operating a regional component Integrated Ocean Observing System (IOOS), we observed each hurricane's impact on ocean real-time, studied ocean's influence intensity....

In July 2014, BOEM issued the NJ Proposed Sale Notice of nearly 344,000 acres designated for offshore wind (OSW) energy development. The lease auction is expected to take place during current year. OSW developer(s) who win lease(s) will submit their development application Board Public Utilities (NJ BPU). These applications must include a resource assessment and economic analysis. One major focus in BPU rules that "shall account coincidence between time generation project peak electricity...

Abstract This study showcases a global, heterogeneously coupled total water level system wherein salinity and temperature outputs from coarser‐resolution (12 km) ocean general circulation model are used to calculate density‐driven terms within higher‐resolution (2.5 depth‐averaged model. We demonstrate that the inclusion of baroclinic forcing in barotropic requires modification internal wave drag term prevent excess degradation tidal results compared By scaling tide dissipation by an easy...
Tropical and extra-tropical cyclones are episodic events that redistribute sediment, pollutants, nutrients heat on continental shelves. The development validation of ocean sediment transport models is necessary to interpret short-term the long-term record. Numerous studies have used pre- post-storm surveys validate three-dimensional resuspension models, but due extreme sampling conditions in situ has been limited a few point measurements. Over last decade many acoustic optical sensors...

Integrated ocean observations from Hurricane Irene (2011) reveal widespread and significant ahead-of-eye cooling (at least 5°C up to 11°C) as it crossed the seasonally stratified continental shelf of Mid-Atlantic Bight North America. Buoys gliders deployed in storm allow detailed evolution surface temperature be examined at select points, revealing 76%-94% total occurs before eye passage. A range models were used diagnose processes responsible for observed cooling. In Irene, 1D vertical...
The New York and Jersey Bight is the new epicenter for offshore wind development. This region has many different meteorological ocean-based processes that affect this area potential Using a locally focused Weather Research Forecasting Model (WRF) application can help with analysis of energy area. WRF outputs several variables be used in evaluation. study will focus on speed, direction, sea surface temperature, shear exponent calculated by speeds at available heights. information extracted...
The Mid Atlantic Bight continental shelf has one of the largest summer temperature gradients in world, with near bottom temperatures below 8C and peak surface over 28C. This is largely due to Cold Pool, remnant winter water that generated on northern MAB transported southward along spring early summer. During tropical cyclones impact shelf, such as Hurricane Irene 2011, shear driven mixing Pool across thermocline potential cool oceans reduce storm intensity. In this study we compare coastal...
