Abstract

A common feature in the three-dimensional numerical model experiments of coastal discharge with simplified model and idealized external forcings is investigated. The velocity fields due to the buoyancy and flaw flux, are spreaded radiately and the surface velocites are much greater than the homegeneous discharges. The coastal dischargd due to the Coriolis force and flaw flux are shaped a anticyclical gyre (clockwise) and determined the scale of the gyre in the coastal zone, respectively. The bottom topography restricts a outward extention of the coastal fronts and it accelerates a southward flow.
