  • A description of water types on the Mackenzie Shelf of the Beaufort Sea during winter 

    Moore, R. M., H. Melling, and K. R. Thompson. 1992. "A description of water types on the Mackenzie Shelf of the Beaufort Sea during winter." Journal of Geophysical Research.C.Oceans 97(C8): 12607-12618. DOI:10.1029/92JC00842
    For a number of years during the 1980s, observations of the physical and chemical properties of seawater in the southeastern Beaufort Sea have been acquired in late winter. The most complete data set, from 1987, has been ...

  • A modified galerkin-spectral model for three-dimensional, barotropic, wind-driven shelf circulation 

    Sheng, Jinyu, and K. R. Thompson. 1993. "A modified galerkin-spectral model for three-dimensional, barotropic, wind-driven shelf circulation." Journal of Geophysical Research.C.Oceans 98(C4): 7011-7022. DOI:10.1029/92JC02963
    The authors describe an efficient numerical scheme for calculating wind-driven currents on the continental shelf. Our scheme is based on the spectral approach introduced by Heaps and subsequently modified by Lardner. The ...
