The geometric complexity of coral reefs leads to interesting fluid mechanics problems at
scales ranging from those of coral colonies or even branches a few millimeters in diameter …

The inner continental shelf, which spans water depths of a few meters to tens of meters, is a
dynamically defined region that lies between the surf zone (where waves break) and the …

Larval transport is defined as the horizontal translocation of a larva between points x1, y1
and x2, y2, where x and y are horizontal axes, say, perpendicular and parallel to the …

Determination of larval dispersal distances and larval origins is a central challenge in
contemporary marine ecology. In this work, the larval dispersal problem is discussed from …

Trowbridge, JH, WR Geyer, MM Bowen, and AJ Williams III, 1999: Near-bottom turbulence
measurements in a partially mixed estuary: Turbulent energy balance, velocity structure, and …

Mean alongshore currents observed on two barred beaches are compared with predictions
based on the one‐dimensional, time‐and depth‐averaged alongshore momentum balance …

This paper investigates the interplay between river discharge and winds in forcing coastal
buoyant outflows. During light winds a plume influenced by the Earth's rotation will flow …

Cross-shelf exchange dominates the pathways and rates by which nutrients, biota, and
materials on the continental shelf are delivered and removed. This follows because cross …

Observational and three‐dimensional modeling studies reveal that the intensified upwelling
in the northeastern South China Sea (NSCS) is formed as a result of intensified upslope …

Because flow in the California Current is unidirectional for months, larvae of coastal species
may drift and settle downstream of their parents, potentially causing the parental population …
