There are a number of factors, however, that cause K to be inaccurate over a large portion of the spectrum's frequency range. Numerous attempts have been made to derive an empirical correction factor ( n ) that could be applied to K to provide a better estimate of the surface-wave spectrum. This paper evaluates some of these empirical factors, specifically for use in an estuarine environment, and recommends Graces' (1978) equation for n as a function of the non-dimensional frequency parameter kh (where k = 2π L is the local wavenumber, h the local depth and L the wavelength). The paper also evaluates the maximum limit ( K max ) on the magnitude of K suggested by Esteva & Harris (1970) , where relative depth d h ( d is the pressure transducer height above the bottom) and k o h (a parameter directly related for large values of kh to wave frequency by the dispersion relation) are the independent variables. The choice of K max may be made unimportant if d is selected beforehand using an equation (Knowles, 1981a) for the minimum d h limit affected by the choice of K max .}, number={4}, journal={Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Knowles, C.Ernest}, year={1983}, month={Oct}, pages={395–404} }

The equilibrium range of these finite-depth spectral data seems to be fitted more satisfactorily by the −3 slope predicted for constant depth by Kitaigorodskii et al. (1975) and measured for shoaling waves by Thornton (1977). Non-dimensional effective-fetch x˜e appears to be the parameter of choice for use in displaying other scaled spectral data (like wave energy ϵ and peak frequency ν) because it reconciles differences in ϵ and ν data for short (5–7 km) and long (20–42 km) fetches without having to alter the ϵ and ν data, but the results also suggest that using fetch as a scaling parameter may not be satisfactory. Finite-depth effects were clearly shown in the ϵ-x˜e data (the slope of the power-law relation was significantly larger than for deep-water relations) and in the ν-x˜e data [the slope was between the relations of Phillips (1977), Ross (...}, number={6}, journal={Journal of Physical Oceanography}, publisher={American Meteorological Society}, author={Knowles, C.

C. An examination of the water temperature time-history record at three stations in and near the inlet show 1) that in two periods with predominately southerly winds, the temperature fluctuated in the range from 13.7° to 27.5°C with an apparent tidal periodicity; 2) that for nearly 48 h between these two periods and with northeasterly winds, a nearly constant temperature of 22.0° to 22.5°C was maintained in spite of normal tidal fluctuations; and 3) this constant temperature period is bracketed by two 24 h transitional periods that are initiated almost coincidently with wind directional changes. It appears that the sequence and relationship of these wind and water temperature data may be explained by and provide additional evidence and documentation of wind-induced upwelling along the northeastern North Carolina coast previously reported by Wells and Gray (1960), Carter, Pritchard and Carpenter (1966) and ...}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Physical Oceanography}, publisher={American Meteorological Society}, author={Knowles, C.

Third-order polynomial expressions formulated from samples having salinities near 35‰ are discussed. From the results of this study, it is recommended that an international expression for C(35,t,0) be established and that the conductivity ratio Rt calculated from this standard expression be used to obtain salinity using the UNESCO tables or the equation of Cox et al.}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Physical Oceanography}, publisher={American Meteorological Society}, author={Knowles, C.
