The state of the art of the numerics of hydrostatic structured-grid coastal ocean models is
reviewed here. First, some fundamental differences in the hydrodynamics of the coastal …

The Knudsen theorem for estuarine exchange flow, based on mass conservation of water
and salt, and its generalization with resolution in salinity coordinates, the Total Exchange …

The increasing demand for renewable energy is projected to result in a 40-fold increase in
offshore wind electricity in the European Union by 2030. Despite a great number of local …

Seagrass meadows form the foundation of many coastal ecosystems, but are rapidly
declining on a global scale. To conserve and restore these key-ecosystems, improved …

The current knowledge about spatial and temporal dynamics of the Black Sea's
thermohaline structure is incomplete because of missing data and sparse distribution of …

The Wadden Sea is a shallow intertidal coastal sea, largely protected by barrier islands and
fringing the North Sea coasts of Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark. It is subject to …

Tidally dominated coasts are directly affected not only by projected rise in mean sea level,
but also by changes in tidal dynamics due to sea level rise and bathymetric changes. By use …

Coastal observatories are key to improve the understanding of processes within the coastal
area and their interactions with regional and global environmental changes. The land-sea …

This textbook is a self-contained introduction to tides that will be useful for courses on tides
in oceans and coastal seas at an advanced undergraduate and postgraduate level, and will …

The skill of the state-of-the-art ocean circulation models GETM (General Estuarine Transport
Model), RCO (Rossby Centre Ocean model), and MOM (Modular Ocean Model) to represent …
