Low- and high-pressure systems traveling from the northeastern Pacific to eastern Gulf of Mexico induce short-term fluctuations in ocean currents, water column temperature, sea level, biovolume. Meteorological data National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), North American Regional Reanalysis-National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NARR-NCEP) western 2008, specifically November 10th 20th, were used describe these fluctuations. Additionally, four Acoustic Doppler Current...
A multibeam sonar combined with an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) were used at the Veracruz Reef System (VRS), Gulf of Mexico, during spawning period August 2016 in order to elucidate plankton trajectories within study area. The new high-resolution bathymetry provided location 50 coral reefs, 27 more reefs than known VRS. Most those are submerged located depths greater 40 m. total reef area VRS was calculated 70.1557 km 2 . Only ~10% corresponds reefs. Forty-eight species...
Time series at eight locations in Chesapeake Bay and the adjacent inner shelf were used to determine relative influence of wind barometric pressure effects on subtidal sea-level variability slopes estuary. Special emphasis was placed lower Bay, where inverse accounted for up 32% variations, forcing more than 67% variance. The frequency from any given direction varied one station another due nonsynoptic characteristics atmospheric Bay. In northern bay, northwesterly winds most frequent...
The acoustic Doppler current profiler, temperature, salinity and density data set were recorded monthly over the course of a year in tropical coral reef system to elucidate effects abrupt bathymetric changes on variability surface temperature time. A minimum five transect repetitions performed during one diurnal tidal cycle each month 2008. According empirical orthogonal functions, dominant terms advection friction due shallowness relatively short continental shelf located front Port...
The sediment distribution in the southern Bay of Campeche is mainly governed by wind-induced currents and mesoscale cyclonic eddies. An increase grain size toward sea attributed to presence a convergence zone that sorts sediments from heavier lighter. A small anticyclonic eddy near coast leads concentration westward Grijalva-Usumacinta River. We combined current profiles charts magnetic susceptibility within with hydrodynamic numerical model elucidate major sedimentary units Southern...
This study shows the computed tidal harmonic results from a sea level time series performed to elucidate temporal and spatial behavior of tides in Veracruz Reef System (western Gulf Mexico). Data 11 pressure sensors moored October December 2004 revealed that predominant harmonics within coral reef system were diurnal K1 O1 components, followed by semidiurnal M2 component. The fortnightly constituent showed an amplitude comparable harmonic. Tidal amplitudes small differences throughout area...
Acoustic Doppler current profiles and water density were measured over the 280 m deep continental slope of Gulf California to elucidate bathymetric effect on zooplankton distribution.These measurements combined with velocity simulations from Regional Ocean Model System without influence Coriolis acceleration.The data revealed an acceleration near-bottom flow as it moved toward increasing depths.This was produced by adjustment isopycnals bathymetry (hydraulic jump).Zooplankton patches...
To study the effects of bathymetric depressions (hollows) on continuously stratified flows, measurements current velocity and water density profiles were obtained over two hollows in lower Chesapeake Bay. Measurements showed an acceleration middepth flow as it moved toward deepest part hollow, contrast to deceleration expected from two‐dimensional Bernoulli‐type dynamics. The was attributed lateral intrusions that most apparent during floods, corroborated by observations a transverse section...
The Regional Ocean Model System (ROMS) was used to simulate flow and hydrographic (temperature, salinity) patterns in a shallow, relatively flat-bottomed estuary with two subestuaries, one an elongated shape the other roughly circular shape. Simulations were elucidate wind stress effect on tidally formed cyclonic gyre Galveston Bay, Texas (USA). form factor suggests that Bay is mixed, mainly diurnal system tides propagate out of phase by less than 1 h from side estuary. Temperature salinity...
Three thousand forty-one profiles of temperature, salinity, density, dissolved oxygen, nitrogen and chlorophyll-a were used to study their seasonal variation on a tropical coral reef system, located in the central part, corridor southwestern Gulf Mexico. The results revealed three seasons according hydrographic variations; northerly wind season from September April; dry May June; rainy July August. density ratio during ∼1.25 average, while it had an average value ∼0.62. Thus, pycnocline was...
Current velocity data recorded from 1 March to 17 June 1997 at four stations in the Bay of Campeche, southern Gulf Mexico, were used describe inertial currents. Data low-pass filtered using a Lanczos filter, and transformed frequency domain with classical Fast Fourier Transform, rotary spectra, Morlet Wavelet Method. The strongest total currents developed eastern part bay, dominant east-west component. predominant direction current was parallel coast. amplitude tidal small when compared...
Abstract. Hurricanes are complex systems that carry large amounts of energy. Their impact often produces natural disasters involving the loss human lives and materials, such as infrastructure, valued at billions US dollars. However, not everything about hurricanes is negative, main source rainwater for regions where they develop. This study shows a nonlinear analysis time series occurrence in Gulf Mexico Caribbean Sea obtained from 1749 to 2012. The construction hurricane was carried out...
