“…9a, light curve). Moored current-meter data (Kinoshita et al, 1992) suggest this eddy remained in the study region until late April, although its position #uctuated over time. Relatively bland surface water associated with the California Current was found on the o!shore side of the eddy ( Fig.…”

“…northern California is much greater when referenced to 1500 m than to 500 m (Bray and Greengrove, 1993). Current meters have detected signi"cant poleward velocities at depths greater than 1000 m over the slope (Kinoshita et al, 1992). The correspondence between the depth of isopycnal surfaces (Ramp et al, 1997) with ADCP current features suggests a thermal wind balance may account for the current dynamics.…”

“…In the vicinity of the Gulf, the complicated bathymetry probably causes substantial spatial variation in the tides and may possibly induce other complex internal motions (Petruncio, 1996). This spatial complexity has been found in the Gulf in moored current meter studies (Noble and Gelfenbaum, 1990;Kinoshita et al,1992). The complicated and seasonally variable density structure of the water (Steger, 1997) may add a baroclinic component to the tides.…”

“…The October 1991 ADCP data are not used because they were not processed correctly until after the tidal model was run. Kinoshita et al (1992) describe the collection and processing of the current meter data. Data from 22 instruments deployed during this study were included in the model.…”

Candela et al. (1990, 1992) showed that tides in an open ocean region can be resolved using velocity data from a ship-mounted ADCP. We use their method to build a spatially varying model of the tidal currents in the Gulf of the Farallones. an area of complicated bathymetry where the tidal velocities in some parts of the region are weak compared to the mean currents. We describe the tidal fields for the M 2 , S2, K,, and 0, constituents and show that this method is sensitive to the model parameters and the quantity of input data. In areas with complex bathymetry and tidal structures, a large amount of spatial data is needed to resolve the tides. A method of estimating the associated errors inherent in the model is described.

“…The module DistRot captures the physics of two processes: the torque acting on the equatorial bulge by the host star, and the motion of the planet's orbital plane (e.g., the change in inclination). The model was derived in Kinoshita (1975) and Kinoshita (1977); see App. D for details.…”

We describe a software package called VPLanet that simulates fundamental aspects of planetary system evolution over Gyr timescales, with a focus on investigating habitable worlds. In this first version, eleven physics modules are included that model internal, atmospheric, rotational, orbital, stellar, and galactic processes. Many of these modules can be coupled to simultaneously simulate the evolution of terrestrial planets, gaseous planets, and stars. The code is validated by reproducing a selection of observations and past results. VPLanet is written in C and designed so that the user can choose the physics modules to apply to an individual object at runtime without recompiling, i.e., a single executable can simulate the diverse phenomena that are relevant to a wide range of planetary and stellar systems. This feature is enabled by matrices and vectors of function pointers that are dynamically allocated and populated based on user input. The speed and modularity of VPLanet enables large parameter sweeps and the versatility to add/remove physical phenomena to asses their importance.
