Book On Wind Tides and Longshore Currents Over the Continental Shelf Due to Winds Blowing at an Angle to the Coast

Download or read book On Wind Tides and Longshore Currents Over the Continental Shelf Due to Winds Blowing at an Angle to the Coast written by Charles L. Bretschneider and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper begins with the usual equations of hydrodynamical motion in two dimensions. Certain assumptions are then made which lead to a direct analytical solution. One of the assumptions made is that the net transport shoreward is insignificant compared with the longshore transport, and in effect the net transport shoreward becomes zero under steady state conditions. Other assumptions made are that the rate of precipitation impact is negligible, the water surface slope parallel to the coastline is negligible, and that the higher order differentials along the coastline are much smaller than the corresponding counterparts directed perpendicular to the coastline. Finally, it is assumed that the bottom friction factor to be used with the longshore current can be approximated by use of n in Manning's equation. The special case of a continental shelf, bottom of constant slope, is treated in detail, although it is shown that the same principles can be applied to composite bottom profile, representing a bottom of variable slope.

Book Sea Level Rise for the Coasts of California  Oregon  and Washington

Download or read book Sea Level Rise for the Coasts of California Oregon and Washington written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tide gauges show that global sea level has risen about 7 inches during the 20th century, and recent satellite data show that the rate of sea-level rise is accelerating. As Earth warms, sea levels are rising mainly because ocean water expands as it warms; and water from melting glaciers and ice sheets is flowing into the ocean. Sea-level rise poses enormous risks to the valuable infrastructure, development, and wetlands that line much of the 1,600 mile shoreline of California, Oregon, and Washington. As those states seek to incorporate projections of sea-level rise into coastal planning, they asked the National Research Council to make independent projections of sea-level rise along their coasts for the years 2030, 2050, and 2100, taking into account regional factors that affect sea level. Sea-Level Rise for the Coasts of California, Oregon, and Washington: Past, Present, and Future explains that sea level along the U.S. west coast is affected by a number of factors. These include: climate patterns such as the El Niño, effects from the melting of modern and ancient ice sheets, and geologic processes, such as plate tectonics. Regional projections for California, Oregon, and Washington show a sharp distinction at Cape Mendocino in northern California. South of that point, sea-level rise is expected to be very close to global projections. However, projections are lower north of Cape Mendocino because the land is being pushed upward as the ocean plate moves under the continental plate along the Cascadia Subduction Zone. However, an earthquake magnitude 8 or larger, which occurs in the region every few hundred to 1,000 years, would cause the land to drop and sea level to suddenly rise.
