Observations of the wind-induced exchange at the entrance to Chesapeake Bay

摘要

Water density and velocity data from two -75-day deployments across the entrance to the chesapeake Bay were used in conjunction with wind velocity and sea level records to describe the transverse structure of wind-induced subtidal exchange. Acoustic Doppler current profilers, electro- magnetic current meters, and conductivity-temperature-depth recorders were deployed at the entrance to the bay from mid-April to early July of 1999 and from early September to mid-November of 1999.
