Numerical Simulation of Cross-Shelf Exchange and Mixing in the Coastal Transition Zone.

Abstract

The long-term goals of our coastal research at Rutgers include: (1) the implementation and testing of numerical models suitable for regional problems featuring irregular coastlines, steep topography, and strong coastal/deep ocean interaction; (2) the use of these models to simulate the regional response of coastal currents, fronts and eddies in the California Current System; (3) the simulation of storm-driven sediment transport and wind-driven upwelling in the Middle Atlantic Bight; (4) the determination of the local balances of heat, mass and energy in these regions, including the patterns and methods of their exchange across the shelf/deep ocean boundary; and (5) the application of these regional models to the study of coupled physical/biogeochemical processes.
