PO54C:
Coastal Seas and Deep Ocean Connections: Observing and Modeling for Process and Climate Studies VI Posters


Session ID#: 11539

Session Description:
Shelf-sea/open-ocean exchange processes are key controllers of coastal ocean water properties, including heat, freshwater, nutrients, and pollutants, and are important to marine ecosystem functioning. Along many continental margins, circulation is affected by the proximity of energetic, deep-ocean boundary current systems. These boundary currents are of leading importance in basin-scale budgets, but the small-scale, high-frequency variability that results where coastal seas and boundary current regimes interact is challenging to observe and model. Evolving coastal observing systems and advances in data-assimilative modeling are improving our ability to provide well-resolved ocean circulation estimates. This session invites presentations on processes that drive exchange across the continental shelf and slope in any geographical setting and across the spectrum of time scales encompassing extreme events to mesoscale, seasonal, and interannual variability. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to: flow-bathymetry interaction; boundary and coastal current instabilities; the relative influence of local and large-scale remotely driven variability on coastal dynamics; impacts on regional air-sea interaction and teleconnections to atmosphere and ocean variability at large scales; and the design of observing systems that integrate coastal and deep observing technologies to span the continental margin. Observational, numerical, and theoretical results from all geographic regions are welcome.
