Late Quaternary Glaciation and Postglacial Stratigraphy of the Northern Pacific Margin of Canada

“…The Entrance is open to Pacific storm systems. The present mean tidal range in Dixon Entrance varies from east to west from 5.0 to 3.5 m resulting in strong bottom currents (Thomson, 1981;Crawford and Thomson, 1991;Ballantyne et al, 1996). Guilbault et al (1997) suggest that these open-water conditions have existed since deglacial time, with freshwater export in an upper layer and saltwater import in a deep return layer.…”

Baroclinic Effect on Modeling Deep Flow in Brown Passage, BC, Canada

“…Hannah et al (1991) described the wind-driven (no tides), depth-averaged circulation in Queen Charlotte Sound and Hecate Strait [5]. Ballantyne et al (1996) used a 3D finite element model to compute the buoyancy-driven flows, as well as the barotropic tides of the BC north coast [6]. The tidal currents of the BC north coast have also been modeled by Flather (1987) [7] for the northeast Pacific Ocean; Foreman et al (1993) [8] for the barotropic tide in the BC north coast; Cummins and Oey (1997) [9] for the barotropic and baroclinic tides of the BC north coast; and Foreman et al (2000) [10] for assimilating satellite altimeter observations into a barotropic tidal model over the northeast Pacific Ocean.…”
