Mesoscale dynamics and orographic channeling of low-level flow through Nares Strait

model estimates of low-level winds and surface wind stress through Nares Strait, be-tween Ellesmere Island and Greenland, during two years from August 2003 through July 2005. Analysis of the model results during these two periods also suggest that the intense, low-level, along-strait winds are stron...

Description
Summary:model estimates of low-level winds and surface wind stress through Nares Strait, be-tween Ellesmere Island and Greenland, during two years from August 2003 through July 2005. Analysis of the model results during these two periods also suggest that the intense, low-level, along-strait winds are strongly ageostrophic, and may be usefully estimated from pressure differences along the Strait. 1
