Circulation in the Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway of North America, a Review
Abstract
Geologists have used several approaches in modeling circulation of the Cretaceous Western Interior seaway of North America. These include qualitative and numerical models of atmospheric circulation, surface currents, rainfall, storm tracks and storm-driven currents, salinity stratification, and tides. Some of the models are theoretical, others are derived empirically from the information in the rock record. Although the predictions of various models agree in many respects, a number of discrepancies among the models also exists. Integration of data from the rock record and model predictions shows great promise for an eventual understanding of circulation in the Western Interior seaway in particular, as well as epicontinental seas in general.
