River plumes are generated by the flow of buoyant river water into the coastal ocean, where
they significantly influence water properties and circulation. They comprise dynamically …

This article reviews the discovery, development, and use of high-frequency (HF) radio wave
backscatter in oceanography. HF radars, as the instruments are commonly called, remotely …

A realistic numerical model is used to study the circulation and mixing of the Salish Sea, a
large, complex estuarine system on the United States and Canadian west coast. The Salish …

Tide effects on the structure of the near‐field Changjiang River plume and on the extension
of the far‐field plume have often been neglected in analysis and numerical simulations …

The Lagrangian separation distance between the endpoints of simulated and observed
drifter trajectories is often used to assess the performance of numerical particle trajectory …

A realistic hindcast simulation of the Salish Sea, which encompasses the estuarine systems
of Puget Sound, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the Strait of Georgia, is described for the …

A method for calculating subtidal estuarine exchange flow using an isohaline framework is
described, and the results are compared with those of the more commonly used Eulerian …

River Influences on Shelf Ecosystems (RISE) is the first comprehensive interdisciplinary
study of the rates and dynamics governing the mixing of river and coastal waters in an …

Resource managers at the state, federal, and tribal levels make decisions on a weekly to
quarterly basis, and fishers operate on a similar timeframe. To determine the potential of a …

Several works have discussed the morphological evolution in the Changjiang Estuary (CJE)
in recent years. The erosion of its subaqueous delta in recent decades has been ascribed to …
