Descriptions


    Movies: A wind from the northeast at 8 m/s is applied uniformly across the surface of the computational domain (seen above map), for one day, followed by a wind from the southwest at 8 m/s for one day. 

Graphs: Wind driven current vectors are shown at four diffeent levels below the surface. Only a subset rectangular region of the above map is displayed, from Great Chebeague Island(GC), through Broad Sound, and east to Cape Small
