  • A model of the circulation on the outer Scotian shelf with open boundary conditions inferred by data assimilation 

    Thompson, K. R., and D. A. Griffin. 1998. "A model of the circulation on the outer Scotian shelf with open boundary conditions inferred by data assimilation." Journal of Geophysical Research 103: 30641-60. DOI:10.1029/98JC01765
    The circulation on Western Bank is described using data collected in spring 1991 and 1992 as part of an interdisciplinary study of the early life history of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua). The mean circulation over the crest ...

  • Return periods of extreme sea levels from short records 

    Middleton, J. F., and K. R. Thompson. 1986. "Return periods of extreme sea levels from short records." Journal of Geophysical Research 91: 11707-16. DOI: 10.1029/JC091iC10p11707
