Tropical cyclone‐induced estuarine destratification and protracted recovery
Abstract Estuarine stratification regulates nutrient cycling and ecosystem dynamics, yet its resilience to extreme meteorological events remains poorly understood. Here, we combine high‐resolution observations and numerical modeling to capture the full‐cycle physical response of an estuary to a summer typhoon.

Abstract We introduce a data archive containing the first highly resolved profiles of velocity and sediment concentration within the wave bottom boundary layer (WBBL) on a natural sandy beach. Resolution of the thin WBBL was made possible by deployment of a unique “Multi‐Frequency Doppler” (MFDop) bistatic acoustic profiling instrument on an Oregon ...

Abstract Suspended and slow‐sinking particles, especially those concentrated within nepheloid layers, can act as pivotal mediators of oceanic carbon transport and benthic‐pelagic coupling. However, identifying nepheloid layers and distinguishing their composition (i.e., inorganic particles, phytoplankton, zooplankton, and fish) using only acoustic ...

Observed Bottom Intensified Diurnal Currents on the Upper Continental Slope North of Svalbard
Abstract In the Arctic Ocean, dissipation is generally weak except for some hot spots on the continental slope or along the edge of the Yermak Plateau where observations suggest that tidal currents are the main source of dissipation. In this study, we analyze observations collected between September 2017 and November 2019 from a mooring deployed on the

Background Antibodies are used to protect against Plasmodium falciparum malaria. One antibody target, the variant surface antigens, is expressed on infected erythrocytes (IEs). Antibodies to these antigens can either block IE sequestration in the tissues,

Lateral Momentum Transfer in Ice‐Covered Rivers
Abstract Ice cover alters river hydrodynamics by introducing surface roughness. This roughness modifies momentum redistribution and bed shear stress. Using theoretical arguments, we present an approach for the lateral momentum load in ice‐covered streams.

Abstract Climatic surface mass balance (SMB) meltwater runoff models are used to estimate current and future Greenland Ice Sheet sea level contributions. However, comparisons between SMB model runoff and in situ proglacial river discharge observations show large discrepancies.

The Importance and Mechanics of Near‐Seafloor Oxygenation Events in Shallow Coastal Environments
Abstract Bottom‐water oxygen (O2) possibly constitutes the strongest regulating factor on ecosystem function of the seafloor environment. The conventional view of bottom‐water O2 regulation in temperate regions is a strong seasonal variability imposed by deposition of fresh, labile organic carbon following the spring and fall plankton bloom generating ...

Processes Impacting the Fate of Small River Plumes Following Storms
Abstract We investigate conditions for small discharge plume formation and transport using observations near a low‐inflow estuary in San Diego, CA. We find that the precise timing of discharge and tides influences the source region of small plumes and determines when plume formation occurs.

Broadband ADCP digital signal processing based on CIC filter banks
The acoustic Doppler current profilers(ADCP) as a new type of flow measuring equipment, can measure the flow velocity of the channel section directly. ADCP has the advantages of short measuring time and wide measuring range.
