During April and May 1993, the typical south and southwestward directed flow over the Texas shelf interacted with current rings located just off the Texas shelf in the Gulf of Mexico. The rings, a cyclone/anticyclone eddy pair, were oriented such tha

The Houston - Galveston area is at significant risk from hurricane induced storm surges. This paper summarizes ongoing studies on flood risk reduction for the region. Firstly, based on a simplified probabilistic hurricane surge model , the return per

Time series measurements of current velocity obtained at mid-depth and near the bottom (100 m) on the outer continental shelf during the spring/summer of 1980 and the winter of 1980–1981 illustrate seasonal differences in the flow regime. During th

The release times of five buoys, which broke free of moorings on the Alabama inner shelf, are known. The locations of subsequent sightings or recoveries of the buoys gave estimated trajectories of the buoys. These results show that the inner-shelf ci

Transmissivity and suspended-sediment data from three cruises on the East Texas continental shelf confirm that a bottom nepheloid layer (BNL) exists across the shelf; this layer is most turbid in the nearshore and outer shelf regions. In addition, su

In the western Gulf of Mexico, depth contours of the 15°C isotherm are compared during two observation periods: April 1–12 and April 12–26, 1978. Comparison of the two isothermal maps allows one to estimate changes in the mesoscale current patte

In April 1978 the circulation pattern in the western Gulf of Mexico was dominated by a cyclonic circulation feature centered near 25°20'N, 95°20'W and an anticyclonic circulation feature centered near 23°30'N, 95°50'W. The north-south scales of b

A model developed primarily for the analysis of drifter data is discussed. The model is based on a parametric representation of the drifter velocity in terms of Monge potentials, two of which are constants following the motion of the fluid. In the ap

Distribution of salinity, dissolved oxygen, nitrate, phosphate, and silicate are presented for the western Gulf of Mexico in 1978. Plots of chemical concentration versus potential density are used to identify the presence of gulf water, tropical Atla

This analysis documents, for the first time, the movement and velocity characteristics of an anticyclonic ring. The ring was pinched off from the Loop Current in the fall of 1980 and moved into the western Gulf of Mexico. Lagrangian measurements obta
