Sentence examples for bottom drag from inspiring English sources

As the water descends along the continental slope, it is also affected by the Coriolis force and friction on the seafloor (bottom drag).

Logarithmic and Chézy-Manning formulas of the bottom drag coefficient (BDC) were established in the model to investigate the associated effect on saltwater intrusion in the NB.

The dynamics of turbidity currents are similar to those of overflows; they are affected by bottom drag, they can entrain ambient waters, and larger turbidity currents can be influenced by the Coriolis force.

The team processed that data to learn that the tidal flow in the bay has a net flow out toward the ocean and that the bottom drag is relatively much weaker when flows are stronger because of the way that seagrass is bent by flow.

Density current velocity and density have been measured by equipment placed at several fixed locations on the continental slope in the western Atlantic, and the movement of density currents has been simulated in so-called "stream-tube models" that balance the density gradient with the Coriolis force and bottom drag to determine the trajectory of the density current over the slope.

In particular, the 2D Leith and QG Leith simulations have more energy in resolved mesoscale eddies, have a spectral slope more consistent with turbulence theory (an inertial enstrophy or potential enstrophy cascade), have bottom drag and vertical viscosity as the primary sinks of energy instead of lateral friction, and have isoneutral parameterized mesoscale tracer transport.
