Effects of Offshore Forcing in the Nearshore Environment

Abstract

The broad objective of the project is to extend our understanding on the role of offshore baroclinic forcing in nearshore dynamics. From this understanding we aim to develop modeling approaches that, combined with offshore baroclinic models, can account for the effects of offshore internal wave forcing on the circulation and sediment transport in the coastal zone.
