A stratified model of a partially enclosed narrow sea. (English) Zbl 0585.76169
Summary: An unsteady model using separate time scales for the barotropic and baroclinic components of the pressure field is applied to the circulation in a long narrow sea. The flow is driven by a combination of coastal run- off, surface wind stress and precipitation. The temperature distribution is changed by advection and coastal upwelling and downwelling. Various numerical solutions are presented to illustrate the effects of changes in the wind, in coastal run-off, in precipitation, and for different shapes of cross-section.
