Influence of Barotropic Tidal Currents on Transport and Accumulation of Floating Microplastics in the Global Open Ocean. [PDF]
J Geophys Res Oceans, 2020 Floating plastic debris is an increasing source of pollution in the world's oceans. Numerical simulations using models of ocean currents give insight into the transport and distribution of microplastics in the oceans, but most simulations do not account ...

Scale Model Experiment on Local Scour around Submarine Pipelines under Bidirectional Tidal Currents
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 In nearshore regions, bidirectional tidal flow is the main hydrodynamic factor, which induces local scour around submarine pipelines. So far, most studies on scour around submarine pipelines only consider the action of unidirectional, steady currents and

Glass eels (Anguilla anguilla) imprint the magnetic direction of tidal currents from their juvenile estuaries. [PDF]
Commun Biol, 2019 The European eel (Anguilla anguilla) hatches in the Sargasso Sea and migrates to European and North African freshwater. As glass eels, they reach estuaries where they become pigmented.

Dynamic habitat corridors for marine predators; intensive use of a coastal channel by harbour seals is modulated by tidal currents. [PDF]
Behav Ecol Sociobiol, 2016 Previous studies have found that predators utilise habitat corridors to ambush prey moving through them. In the marine environment, coastal channels effectively act as habitat corridors for prey movements, and sightings of predators in such areas suggest

Trapped tidal currents generate freely propagating internal waves at the Arctic continental slope [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 Energetic tidal currents in the Arctic play an important role in local mixing processes, but they are primarily confined to the shelves and continental slopes due to topographic trapping north of their critical latitude.

Types of Tides and Tidal Currents [PDF]
, 2011 This text discusses differences in ocean tides. Along America's Atlantic Coast, two high and low tides occur daily. Such tides are called semidiurnal. On the north shore of the Gulf of Mexico, the tide is diurnal, meaning that it moves in and out again ...

Tidal currents in the western Svalbard Fjords
Oceanologia, 2015 The paper is focusing on the tides and on the strong tidal current generated in the western fjords of Svalbard. Numerical model is chosen as a tool to study the barotropic tides.

Arctic tidal current atlas [PDF]
Scientific Data, 2020 AbstractTidal and wind-driven near-inertial currents play a vital role in the changing Arctic climate and the marine ecosystems. We compiled 429 available moored current observations taken over the last two decades throughout the Arctic to assemble a pan-Arctic atlas of tidal band currents.

Observed Tidal Currents in Prydz Bay and Their Contribution to the Amery Ice Shelf Basal Melting
Ocean-Land-Atmosphere Research, 2023 Tides play a key role in regulating the circulation and water properties around Antarctica, yet tidal currents and the corresponding influences in Prydz Bay have not been quantified with observational datasets.

Tides and Tidal Currents—Guidelines for Site and Energy Resource Assessment
Energies, 2021 The main aim of this paper was to classify and to analyze the expeditious resource assessment procedure to help energy planners and system designers dealing with tides and tidal currents. Depending on the geographical features of the site to be evaluated,
