Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Louisiana-Texas Coastal Current (LTCC) is a major dynamic feature responsible for the distribution of fresh water, sediment and nutrients on the northwestern shelf of the Gulf of Mexico. Earlier studies have indicated that this current exhibits a distinct although asymmetric annual cycle during which it flows downcoast, i.e., westward along the Louisiana coast and then southward along the Texas coast in fall, winter, and spring; however, in summer, the flow reverses and moves upcoast. This annual cycle of the LTCC is clearly observed with measurements from a cross-shore current meter mooring array located south of Cameron, LA in 1996 and 1997. Analyses of these data show that the currents are indeed downcoast between September 1996 and January 1997 with modest mean velocities up to 6 cm/s. During the expected upcoast regime of June-August 1996, our data show mean eastward speeds of 2-6cm/s. Cross-shelf spatial correlation length scales of the currents are well in excess of 60km during the downcoast regime but they are distinctly smaller (30-5O km) during the upcoast regime. Coherence analysis and predictions from a wind-driven model indicate that the downcoast currents and volume transport associated with them are highly coherent with alongshore wind stress. This wind stress also controls fluctuations of the upcoast currents and transport; however, it is not a dominant forcing. The data indicate that during the analyzed summer season, the alongshore sea-surface slope was also an important driving force of the LTCC.

This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) is a agency within the U.S. Department of Interior. BOEM has four sections that cover the United States' waters: Alaska OCS Region, Pacific OCS Region, Gulf of Mexico OCS Region and the Atlantic OCS Region. The Gulf of Mexico OCS Region is responsible for almost 160 million acres of lands off the coast of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. Currently, more than 31 million acres are leased for gas and oil development, and six million are actually producing oil and natural gas. The Gulf of Mexico Region is in charge of addressing the Environment, Leasing and Plans, and Resource Evaluation. The publish a variety of documents with topics such as: Marine Biology, Natural Gas, Oil Spills, Transportation, Chemical Products, etc. This is one of those publications.
Download or read book Sediments Morphology and Sedimentary Processes on Continental Shelves written by Michael Z. Li and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-02-20 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The application of multibeam and sediment transport measurement technologies and the adoption of multi-faceted research methodologies have greatly advanced our understanding of the sedimentary processes on continental shelves in the last decade. This book uniquely blends cutting-edge research and state-of-the art review articles that take stock of new advances in multibeam mapping and sediment transport technologies, spatial analysis and modelling, and the applications of these advances to the understanding of shelf sediments, morphodynamics, and sedimentary processes. Case studies are also presented to illustrate the utilization of seabed property and process knowledge in habitat mapping and ocean management With its mix of papers focusing on technological advances, integration of shelf morphology and processes, and the application of these advances to coastal and ocean management, this Special Publication volume will serve as a milestone reference for professional marine scientists and as advanced text for students in marine geology, sedimentology and oceanography. This book is part of the International Association of Sedimentologists (IAS) Special Publications. The Special Publications from the IAS are a set of thematic volumes edited by specialists on subjects of central interest to sedimentologists. Papers are reviewed and printed to the same high standards as those published in the journal Sedimentology and several of these volumes have become standard works of reference.

Download or read book Circulation in the Gulf of Mexico written by Wilton Sturges and published by American Geophysical Union. This book was released on 2005-01-14 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 161. In this book, we describe our current state of knowledge on circulation in the Gulf of Mexico through 22 papers at the forefront of research. The view is selective rather than all-inclusive, with primary focus on circulation at the sea surface and at depth, including nearshore flow. In choosing topics, we have attempted to avoid the distinction between observations and models, as both are essential to advance our understanding of this exceptional body of water. We have also written for specialists and non-specialists alike in both science and industry: for those who work directly on the science associated with the Gulf, and for those whose work depends on the Gulf. And we refer here to physical oceanography, marine geology, sedimentology, coastal and estuarine science, as well as to the petrochemical and fishing industries.
