EC33A:
Coastal Oceanography through Integrated Data Analysis I


Session ID#: 11314

Session Description:
With increasing coastal ocean observing systems collecting various data streams, our understanding of continental shelf processes has advanced significantly in recent years. This session highlights new scientific results obtained from these sustained or process-oriented coastal observations including, for example, moored current meters, HF radars, AUVs, gliders, drifters, profilers, tide gauges, C-MAN stations, as well as satellites and other remotely-sensed data. Progress on a variety of coastal topics such as along- and cross-shelf circulation and exchange, upwelling and downwelling dynamics, sea level variations, tidal dynamics, buoyancy fluxes, local and remote forcing, estuary-plume-shelf systems, offshore current/eddy intrusions, topographic influences, and their downstream impacts are all encouraged. New insights from integrated data analyses covering multiple scales by combing two or more types of data are particularly encouraged.  Numerical model-assisted data analyses and accompanying insights are also welcome.
