Tidal bores, Aegir, Eagre, Mascaret, Pororoca: theory and observations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A tidal bore is a series of waves propagating upstream as the tidal flow turns to rising. It forms during spring tide conditions when the tidal range exceeds 4 to 6 m and the flood tide is confined to a narrow funnelled estuary.

Sedimentary signatures of tidal bores: a brief synthesis [PDF]

open access: yesGeo-Marine Letters, 2016
This article aims at presenting a brief synthesis of sedimentary signatures assigned to tidal bore dynamics and impacts. According to the few studies published until now on tidal bore-induced facies within inner estuarine tidal channel infilling successions, only two major signatures can be reported: (1) soft sediment deformations (SSDs) due to ...

Holocene palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of sea level, coastal and vegetation changes along the southern Solway Firth, United Kingdom

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Holocene relative sea level (RSL) changes were reconstructed from four sites along the less‐studied southern Solway Firth. A multiproxy approach, including lithostratigraphical and biostratigraphical analyses, combined with radiocarbon dating, produced ten sea level index points (SLIPs).

Turbulence and turbulent events in tidal bores: field observations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A tidal bore is a compressive wave of tidal origin, propagating upstream as the tidal flow turns to rising when a macro-tidal flood flow enters a funnel shaped river mouth with shallow waters.

How I Do It: Middle Fossa Approach of Facial Nerve Decompression

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
We present a reproducible, stepwise middle fossa approach for facial nerve decompression focused on the labyrinthine segment, geniculate ganglion, and meatal foramen, with consistent anatomical landmarks to preserve hearing. The article and video detail patient setup, safe corridor creation, and retrograde drilling with practical tips to avoid cochlear

Physical modeling of unsteady turbulence in breaking tidal bores [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A tidal bore is an unsteady flow motion generated by the rapid water level rise at the river mouth during the early flood tide under macrotidal and appropriate bathymetric conditions. This paper presents a study that physically investigates the turbulent

Predicting potential Arctic kelp distribution and lower‐depth biomass from seafloor irradiance

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Kelps have an extensive distribution in Arctic coastal waters. However, quantifying their role in the Arctic food web and carbon cycle is challenged by the scarcity of documented geographical distribution, standing stocks and production. Here we present a framework based on an empirical function to predict the potential kelp distribution and ...

Mixing and dispersion role of tidal bores [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
When a river mouth has a flat converging shape and when the tidal range exceeds 6 to 9 m, the river may experience a tidal bore. A tidal bore is basically a positive surge propagating upstream as the tidal flow turns to rising. The occurrence of a bore has a significant impact on estuarine systems.

The IceShark, an effective method for sampling plankton under sea ice

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Seasonal sea ice plays a crucial role in shaping coastal ecosystem dynamics throughout the circumpolar region. Of particular interest to oceanographers is the ice‐ocean interface which functions as a multidimensional habitat, supporting both sympagic algae and pelagic phytoplankton in the under‐ice surface waters.

Characterization of a Double Mesospheric Bore Over Europe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Observations of a pair of mesospheric bore disturbances that propagated through the nighttime mesosphere over Europe are presented. The observations were made at the Padua Observatory, Asiago (45.9\ub0N, 11.5\ub0E), by the Boston University all-sky ...
