On the local dynamics of currents in the estuarine Marsdiep basin [PDF]
, 2015 The estuarine dynamics of the periodically-stratified Marsdiep basin, the westernmost part of the UNESCO world heritage site the Wadden Sea, are investigated through a broad range of observations and numerical model simulations. Spatial surveys and long-term point measurements of velocity, salinity, temperature, density and turbulence production and ...

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract In the Lake Koocanusa‐Kootenai River system (Montana, USA and British Columbia, Canada), selenium (Se) contamination has become an international concern and is suspected to contribute to the observed burbot (Lota lota) population collapse. Due to our limited ability to sample burbot in Lake Koocanusa for monitoring studies, we used a reference

Rotating gravity currents: small-scale and large-scale laboratory experiments and a geostrophic model [PDF]
, 2007 Laboratory experiments simulating gravity-driven coastal surface currents produced by estuarine fresh-water discharges into the ocean are discussed. The currents are generated inside a rotating tank filled with salt water by the continuous release of ...

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 Saltmarshes are considered as natural coastal defences. However, owing to the large context dependency, there is much discussion over their effectiveness in providing coastal protection and the necessity of additional coastal defence interventions.

Single alternating density currents during initial impoundment of estuarine reservoirs
Shui kexue jinzhan, 2016 To explore the occurrence and effects of single alternating density currents during initial impoundment of estuarine reservoirs,we conducted flume experiments to simulate the exchange of salts between sloped sediments and water.

Circulation patterns in the Gulf of Finland from daily to seasonal timescales
Tellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2019 We studied circulation patterns in the Gulf of Finland (GoF), an estuary-like sub-basin of the Baltic Sea. Circulation patterns in the GoF are complex and vary from season to season and year to year.

Lateral Circulation in a Partially Stratified Tidal Inlet
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2018 Using a three-dimensional, hydrostatic, primitive-equation ocean model, this study investigates the dynamics of lateral circulation in a partially stratified tidal inlet, the Barataria Pass in the Gulf of Mexico, over a 25.6 h diurnal tidal cycle.
