Influence of Barotropic Tidal Currents on Transport and Accumulation of Floating Microplastics in the Global Open Ocean [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: 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 ...

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 ...

The Distribution of Shearing Stresses in a Tidal Current [PDF]
Geophysical Journal International, 1959 Summary Observations were made in a tidal current off Red Wharf Bay, Anglesey, North Wales. The frictional stress at the bottom, Fb, was determined from the velocity profile within the first zm above the bottom and found to be related to the velocity at I m by a quadratic law, Fb = kpUl2, where K has the value 3-5 x 10-3. The corresponding value of the

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.

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

Trends in tidal power development [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 Tidal energy has been around for almost 2, 000 years, as the first Tide Mills date the Romans times. Tidal power generation then emerged in the 1960s, with the construction of the 240 MW La Rance power station, a still working example of good renewable ...

Rectified tidal transport in Lofoten–Vesterålen, northern Norway [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2021 Vestfjorden in northern Norway, a major spawning ground for the northeast Arctic cod, is sheltered from the continental shelf and open ocean by the Lofoten–Vesterålen archipelago.

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.
