Observations of Tidal Headland Eddies in Deep Water

提出了一个三管齐下的现场研究方法，研究峡湾中潮汐侧壁涡旋的产生、释放和消散。与产生涡流的海角相邻的深层(分层)水避免了底部摩擦的立即消散。实验室实验表明，涡旋的长寿命促进了与在较浅环境中观察到的不同的特征流场。这一假设将得到检验。

MacCready0099058A three-pronged field effort is proposed to study the generation, release, and dissipation of tidally generated sidewall eddies in a fjord. The deep (stratified) water adjacent to the headland at which the eddy is generated precludes immediate dissipation by bottom friction. Laboratory experiments suggest that the long lifetime of the eddy promotes different characteristic flow fields than observed in shallower environments. This hypothesis will be tested.
