The circulation of Monterey Bay is both variable and complex, and is likely to be significantly influenced by circulation in the adjacent California current. To study this circulation a two-layer, numerical model was used. The model was forced by inflow and outflow at an open boundary that connected the Pacific Ocean with the bay. Topography representing Monterey Canyon was included in the lower layer of the model. The effects of wind and tidal forcing were not considered. Results indicate that surface circulation is strongly constrained by topography when the lower layer flow is 5 cm/sec or larger and that the flows within the bay are consistent with geostrophic, vorticity-conserving flow over bottom topography. The sensitivity of the model to the distribution and strength of inflow and outflow forcing location was investigated. The model was found to be sensitive to the location of inflow and outflow forcing and also to the inflow and outflow vertical structure. Keywords: Ocean currents; Mathematical models; Submarine canyons; Bay bottom topography; Two layer ocean model.

The geomagnetic electrokinetograph (GEK) was used to measure surface currents near the center of Monterey Bay during six separate 24-hour periods from May through July, 1972. An average of 244 current vectors were derived for each cruise. The mean currents from these cruises are all southerly and ranged from 4.1 cm/sec to 20.4 cm/sec. The average of these mean currents is 12.1 cm/sec toward 163T. These values were compared with individual currents derived from dynamic topographies from the same period. Diurnal and semi-diurnal variations of the current were studied after subjecting the data to a Fourier analysis. It was concluded that there must be at least an indirect coupling of the ocean currents with the semi-diurnal tide at the data point. The diurnal component also is important; it may be tidal or inertial, or merely related to the passage of the sun. (Author).
