Journal ArticleDOI
Observation and modeling of the winter coastal oceanic circulation in the Gulf of Lion under wind conditions influenced by the continental orography (FETCH experiment)
Claude Estournel,X. Durrieu de Madron,Patrick Marsaleix,Francis Auclair,C. Julliand,Raoul Vehil +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the first part of the cruise, characterized by strong northern winds, was presented, and the hydrological structures evidence well-mixed water masses on the eastern and western ends of the shelf.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy conservation issues in sigma-coordinate free-surface ocean models
Patrick Marsaleix,Francis Auclair,Jochem Willem Floor,Marine Herrmann,Claude Estournel,Ivane Pairaud,Caroline Ulses +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the energy conservation properties of a hydrostatic, Boussinesq, coastal ocean model using a classic finite difference method are investigated. But the authors do not consider the effect of the motion of the free surface on energy conservation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Rhone River Plume in Unsteady Conditions: Numerical and Experimental Results
TL;DR: In this paper, surface current maps obtained in the plume of the Rhome river by two VHF radars gave rise to comparisons with simulations produced by a primitive-equation model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Considerations on Open Boundary Conditions for Regional and Coastal Ocean Models
TL;DR: In this paper, a complete set of open boundary conditions based on stability criteria, on mass and energy conservation arguments, and on the ability to enforce external information is proposed for coastal ocean models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of the semi-diurnal and quarter-diurnal internal tides in the Bay of Biscay. Part 1: Barotropic tides
TL;DR: In this paper, a regional baroclinic model forced with several tidal constituents at different frequencies is used to investigate the internal tide of the Bay of Biscay, where the observed currents and stratification are accurately reproduced by the model.
