Hydrodynamic control of phytoplankton loss to the benthos in an estuarine environment [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 2009 Field experiments were undertaken to measure the influence of hydrodynamics on the removal of phytoplankton by benthic grazers in Suisun Slough, North San Francisco Bay. Chlorophyll a concentration boundary layers were found over beds inhabited by the active suspension feeders Corbula amurensis and Corophium alienense and the passive suspension feeders

, 2022 Tidal inundation is the primary driver of intertidal wetland functioning and will be affected by sea- level rise (SLR). The morphology of estuaries and friction across intertidal surfaces influences tidal propagation; accordingly, sea-level rise not only

The hydrodynamics of the southern basin of Tauranga Harbour
, 2013 The circulation of the southern basin of Tauranga Harbour was simulated using a 3-D hydrodynamic model ELCOM. A 9-day field campaign in 1999 provided data on current velocity, temperature and salinity profiles at three stations within the main basin. The

The Elbe Estuary Microbiome Shifts With Salinity and Discharge and Depends on Fresh Organic Matter and Nutrient Availability. [PDF]
Environ Microbiol RepMicrobial diversity within the Elbe Estuary was found to be more strongly governed by seasonal variability, salinity, and discharge than by spatial heterogeneity. Oligohaline regions sustain high diversity, while nutrient and redox conditions drive functional shifts.

Procedure to Calibrate and Verify Numerical Models of Estuarine Hydrodynamics [PDF]
Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 1999 In most hydrodynamic models, friction and turbulent diffusion/dispersion coefficients are the important calibration parameters affecting the calculation of surface elevation, velocity, and salinity distribution. This paper presents a rational approach to calibrate and verify a hydrodynamic model of partially stratified estuaries.

Brazilian Journal of Oceanography, 2009 Estuarine hydrodynamics is a key factor in the definition of the filtering capacity of an estuary and results from the interaction of the processes that control the inlet morphodynamics and those that are acting in the mixing of the water in the estuary.

Main Physical Processes Affecting the Residence Times of a Micro-Tidal Estuary
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Residence time is an important parameter linked to the water quality in an estuary. In this paper, we identify and analyze the main processes that affect the residence time of the Caloosahatchee River Estuary, a micro-tidal and mixed diurnal-semidiurnal ...

Relation between bacterial activity in the surface microlayer and estuarine hydrodynamics. [PDF]
FEMS microbiology ecology, 2011 Bacterial communities of the surface microlayer (SML) of the estuary Ria de Aveiro (Portugal) were characterized in terms of abundance and activity during a 2-year survey at two sites with distinct hydrodynamic properties (marine and brackish water zones).

, 2022 The effect of an estuarine dam located near the mouth for a range of estuarine types (strongly stratified, partially mixed, periodically stratified, and well-mixed) has been studied using a numerical model of an idealized estuary.

Modeling Dynamic Processes of Mondego Estuary and Óbidos Lagoon Using Delft3D
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Estuarine systems currently face increasing pressure due to population growth, rapid economic development, and the effect of climate change, which threatens the deterioration of their water quality.
