This book was released on 2018-11-17 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Gulf Coast provides a valuable setting to study deeply connected natural and human interactions and feedbacks that have led to a complex, interconnected coastal system. The physical landscape in the region has changed significantly due to broad-scale, long-term processes such as coastal subsidence and river sediment deposition as well as short-term episodic events such as hurricanes. Modifications from human activities, including building levees and canals and constructing buildings and roads, have left their own imprint on the natural landscape. This coupled natural-human coastal system and the individual aspects within it (physical, ecological, and human) are under increased pressure from accelerating environmental stressors such as sea level rise, intensifying hurricanes, and continued population increase with its accompanying coastal development. Promoting the resilience and maintaining the habitability of the Gulf Coast into the future will need improved understanding of the coupled natural-human coastal system, as well as effective sharing of this understanding in support of decision-making and policies. Understanding the Long-term Evolution of the Coupled Natural-Human Coastal System presents a research agenda meant to enable a better understanding of the multiple and interconnected factors that influence long-term processes along the Gulf Coast. This report identifies scientific and technical gaps in understanding the interactions and feedbacks between human and natural processes, defines essential components of a research and development program in response to the identified gaps, and develops priorities for critical areas of research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The region near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina is a significant oceanographic area where the Gulf Stream (GS) transitions from a continental slope-attached flow to an open ocean free jet. Here, the GS interacts with the equatorward-flowing Deep Western Boundary Current (DWBC). Such interaction, along with the convergence of shelf and slope water from the Middle Atlantic Bight (MAB) and the South Atlantic Bight (SAB), results in a substantial net export of shelf waters to the open ocean. Consequently, this region facilitates a complex exchange between the continental shelf and the open ocean, influenced by various factors such as the variability of the western boundary current, atmospheric forcing, and the characteristics of shelf water. To study the GS variability and coastal circulation in this region during 2017-2018, this dissertation employs two sets of advanced data-assimilative ocean reanalyses. The first set utilizes a high-resolution (7-km) ocean reanalysis that employs a 4-dimensional variational (4DVAR) data assimilation algorithm. It incorporates satellite-derived sea surface height and temperature measurements, as well as in situ temperature and salinity profiles. The reliability of the model is confirmed by comparing its GS position and three-dimensional mean kinetic energy with historical satellite and in situ observations. The continuous ocean state estimates obtained from this reanalysis are used to analyze eddy kinetic energy conversion and cross-stream eddy heat and salt fluxes. The study reveals that GS meanders primarily trigger kinetic energy conversion, and it identifies significant inverse energy cascading during GS-eddy interactions. Furthermore, the analysis demonstrates that the cross-stream eddy heat and salt fluxes off Cape Hatteras predominantly flow onshore throughout the two-year study period. The second set of advanced ocean reanalysis used in this study features a very high resolution (800-m) model, aiming to explore the velocity structure variability off Cape Hatteras. The model's high realism is validated by comparing it with independent observations of ocean velocity and density. Using rotated Empirical Orthogonal Function analysis, the study identifies three leading modes that characterize the variability of the western boundary currents throughout the water column: 1) GS meandering, 2) wind forcing, and 3) the influence of the DWBC and upper-ocean eddies. Additionally, a particle-tracking framework is employed using the same very high resolution (800-m) reanalysis to examine the export patterns and pathways of MAB surface shelf water. Through a two-year continuous near-surface particle-tracking simulation, over 700 daily snapshots of horizontal distributions of MAB shelf water are obtained. Applying image clustering to these snapshots, the study identifies three primary export patterns of MAB shelf water, which correspond closely to three major coastal circulation scenarios near Cape Hatteras: 1) abrupt entrainment, 2) gradual entrainment, 3) southward transport. These results are consistent with earlier analysis based on limited drifter observations, but also reveal the significant impact of tropical cyclones on the surface transport in the area. In summary, this dissertation research utilizes two sets of advanced ocean reanalyses to enhance our understanding of the GS energetics and shelf-open ocean dynamics in the coastal circulation near Cape Hatteras. It emphasizes the importance of integrating observations from advanced observational infrastructure, high-resolution numerical modeling, and state-of-the-art data assimilation techniques to achieve a comprehensive understanding and predictive capability of the processes and dynamics in this critical dynamic oceanic region.
