Associations between freshwater inflows and oyster productivity in Apalachicola Bay, Florida

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 1992
Increased and varied demands for consumptive water uses on the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River system threaten to reduce freshwater inflows to the Apalachicola estuary and thus may affect estuarine productivity. To investigate how freshwater inflows are associated with productive estuarine conditions, Apalachicola Bay oyster data from 1960–84 ...

Sea-Level Rise Effects on Hurricane-Induced Salinity Transport in Apalachicola Bay

Journal of Coastal Research, 2014
ABSTRACT Huang, W.; Hagen, S.C.; Bacopoulos, P., and Teng, F., 2014. Sea-level rise effects on hurricane-induced salinity transport in Apalachicola Bay. Salinity is an important indicator for estuarine ecosystem. Estuarine salinity can be affected by hurricane and sea-level rises.

Turbidity in Apalachicola Bay, Florida from Landsat 5 TM and Field Data: Seasonal Patterns and Response to Extreme Events

Remote Sensing, 2017
Synoptic monitoring of estuaries, some of the most bio-diverse and productive environments on Earth, is essential to study small-scale water dynamics and its role on spatiotemporal variation in water quality important to indigenous marine species and ...

Hydrodynamic modeling and analysis of sea-level rise impacts on salinity for oyster growth in Apalachicola Bay, Florida

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2015
In this study, a previously calibrated hydrodynamic model was applied to investigate the impacts of sea level rise on salinity variations and oyster growth in Apalachicola Bay. With available observed data (winds, tides, and river flow), a case study has

Horizontal Salinity Gradient Effects in Apalachicola Bay

Journal of Waterway, Port, Coastal, and Ocean Engineering, 1991
This research demonstrates that horizontal density gradients approximated by salinity gradient represent an additional forcing term in the equations of motion, which have a significant effect in certain portions of a well-mixed estuary. The horizontal density gradient terms have been added to a two-dimensional depth-averaged hydrodynamic and salinity ...

Assessing chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) distribution, stocks, and fluxes in Apalachicola Bay using combined field, VIIRS ocean color, and model observations

Remote Sensing of Environment, 2017
Understanding the role of estuarine-carbon fluxes is essential to improve estimates of the global carbon budget. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays an important role in aquatic carbon cycling.

The Hydrography of Apalachicola and Florida Bays, Florida

1961
Abstract : Eight hydrographic surveys were made in each of the bays, two each season, for the year 1960. In each bay eight stations were occupied for a 25 hour period commencing 1200 of the first date to 1200 of the second. Simultaneous hourly observations were made by 2 man crews, occupying skiffs or stationed on bridges, of water temperature, current

Modelling Wind Effects on Subtidal Salinity in Apalachicola Bay, Florida

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2002
Abstract Salinity is an important factor for oyster and estuarine productivity in Apalachicola Bay. Observations of salinity at oyster reefs have indicated a high correlation between subtidal salinity variations and the surface winds along the bay axis in an approximately east–west direction.

Suspended sediment projections in Apalachicola Bay in response to altered river flow and sediment loads under climate change and sea level rise

Earth's Future, 2016
Suspended sediments, or total suspended solids (TSS), are an important factor for oyster habitat. While high concentrations of suspended sediments can cause a reduction of oyster density, some level of suspended sediment is required to supply oysters ...
