Shelf Bank Case - Alongshore Velocity (m/s)

Left: Alongshore (U) velocity (m/s) in a section a location just upstream of the shelfbank at time = 20 days.
Middle: Alongshore (U) velocity (m/s) in a section centered on the shelfbank at time = 20 days.
Right: Alongshore (U) velocity (m/s) in a section at a location just downstream of the shelfbank at time = 20 days.
Reds are southward velocities. Blues are northward velocities.
Note the strong southward flow at the edge of the shelfbank and the generally northward flow on the inner part of the transect south of the bank (right panel). Click here to retrieve an flc animation of alongshore velocity at these three across-shore sections.
