Wave–current dynamics and interactions near the two inlets of a shallow lagoon–inlet–coastal ocean system under hurricane conditions

M Mao, M **a - Ocean Modelling, 2018 - Elsevier
Inlet wave–current dynamics and interactions are vital to the physical exchanges in a lagoon–
inlet–coastal ocean system. A wave–current coupled model was calibrated and validated …

Characteristics of surface currents in a shallow lagoon–inlet–coastal ocean system revealed by surface drifter observations

K Fitzenreiter, M Mao, M **a - Estuaries and Coasts, 2022 - Springer
The circulation in a shallow lagoon–inlet–coastal ocean system is significant to material
transports (eg, debris, pollutants, and larvae). To study surface flows in this system, we …

Relative dispersion of surface drifters in the North Sea: The effect of tides on mesoscale diffusivity

J Meyerjürgens, M Ricker, V Schakau… - Journal of …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
We examine the relative dispersion and the contribution of tides on the relative diffusivities of
surface drifters in the North Sea. The drifters are released in two clusters, yielding 43 pairs …

N Mardani, K Suara, H Fairweather, R Brown… - Water, 2020 - mdpi.com
While significant studies have been conducted in Intermittently Closed and Open Lakes and
Lagoons (ICOLLs), very few have employed Lagrangian drifters. With recent attention on the …

High-resolution bathymetry estimates via X-band marine radar: 2. Effects of currents at tidal inlets

DA Honegger, MC Haller, RA Holman - Coastal Engineering, 2020 - Elsevier
In this second of two papers, the high spatial resolution cBathy depth estimate algorithm is
extended to account for the existence of currents aligned with the wave directions. The …

Observations and modeling of a tidal inlet dye tracer plume

F Feddersen, M Olabarrieta, RT Guza… - Journal of …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
A 9 km long tracer plume was created by continuously releasing Rhodamine WT dye for 2.2
h during ebb tide within the southern edge of the main tidal channel at New River Inlet, NC …

Summertime Connecticut River water pathways and wind impacts

Y Jia, MM Whitney - Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Long Island Sound is a large macrotidal estuary. Connecticut River as the primary
freshwater source enters near the sound's mouth. The summertime pathways of river water …

Modeling surfzone to inner‐shelf tracer exchange

K Hally‐Rosendahl, F Feddersen - Journal of Geophysical …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
A near‐shoreline, continuous dye release at an approximately alongshore‐uniform beach
(IB09 experiment) is simulated with the wave‐resolving Boussinesq model funwaveC. The …

Relative dispersion of clustered drifters in a small micro-tidal estuary

K Suara, H Chanson, M Borgas, RJ Brown - Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf …, 2017 - Elsevier
Small tide-dominated estuaries are affected by large scale flow structures which combine
with the underlying bed generated smaller scale turbulence to significantly increase the …

Predictability of wind‐induced sea surface transport in coastal areas

A Cucco, G Quattrocchi, A Satta… - Journal of …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
In this work we investigated the predictability of the wind‐induced sea surface transport in
coastal areas. The wind fields predicted by two state‐of‐the‐art meteorological models …
