Tidal changes in estuarine systems induced by local geomorphologic modifications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Although rising global sea levels will affect the estuarine flooded areas over the coming decades, the local and regional-scale processes will also induce important changes in these coastal systems.

Processes of MISS-formation in a modern siliciclastic tidal flat, Patagonia (Argentina) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The study focus on the description of several MISS as erosional pockets and remnants, flipped-over edges, and large microbial deformation structures as roll-ups, folds and gas domes, in the context of sediment composition, hydraulics, and geomorphology ...

Assessing extreme loads on a tidal turbine using focused wave groups in energetic currents

open access: yesRenewable Energy, 2019
Tidal stream turbines are subject to large hydrodynamic loads, including those induced by extreme waves. Scale model testing in the laboratory plays an important role in ensuring that full scale tidal turbines are designed and operated in a manner that ...

The role of intratidal oscillations in sediment resuspension in a diurnal, partially mixed estuary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Using detailed observations of the mean and turbulent properties of flow, salinity and turbidity that spanned 2001/02, we examined the physical mechanisms underpinning sediment resuspension in the low-energy Swan River estuary, Western Australia. In this

The role of Internal Solitary Waves on deep-water sedimentary processes. The case of up-slope migrating sediment waves off the Messina Strait [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Subaqueous, asymmetric sand waves are typically observed in marine channel/canyon systems, tidal environments, and continental slopes exposed to strong currents, where they are formed by current shear resulting from a dominant unidirectional flow ...

Wind-Induced Currents in the Gulf of California from Extreme Events and Their Impact on Tidal Energy Devices

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
Tidal renewable energy is a promising alternative energy resource, and marginal seas are known as excellent sites for tidal energy exploitation. In-stream and tidal energy devices are less exposed to extreme weather events than wind energy. Nevertheless,

The essential observations for reconstructing full-depth tidal currents

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Based on the modal decomposition and least square method, full-depth tidal currents and corresponding internal tidal modes can be obtained from limited observations.

Submerged dunes and breakwater embayments mapped using wave inversions of shore-mounted marine X-Band radar data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Surveying very shallow coastal areas, particularly around coastal defences, can be a logistically difficult and time consuming process. A marine-radar based bathymetry mapping technique has been used to remotely map the embayments around a series of ...

Direct Ocean Tidal Current Measurements From Space: Enhanced Interpretation of Sentinel‐1 Doppler Shift Signals

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Advances in Sentinel‐1 Doppler processing have continued to unlock deeper understanding of surface current dynamics. With future missions emphasizing total surface currents observations, the resolving of processes will grow, including tidal currents ...
