Recent research in estuaries challenges the long-standing paradigm of the gravitationally
driven estuarine circulation. In estuaries with relatively strong tidal forcing and modest …

Recent advances in our understanding of estuarine circulation and salinity structure are
reviewed. We focus on well-and partially mixed systems that are long relative to the tidal …

The literature on estuarine physical studies is vast, diverse and contains many valuable
case studies in addition to pure, process-based research. This essay is an attempt to …

Effects of Bathymetry, Friction, and Rotation on Estuary–Ocean Exchange in: Journal of
Physical Oceanography Volume 33 Issue 11 (2003) Jump to Content Jump to Main …

Concentrations of rare earth elements (REE) were measured in the fine fraction of shallow
surface sediments from the lower Chesapeake Bay as studies suggest that coagulation of …

On the basis of a 301 day acoustic Doppler current profiler mooring in an estuarine tidal
strait the strength and structure of secondary circulation in a region of flow curvature is …

Abstract The Chilean Patagonia, on the southeastern Pacific Ocean, is one of the largest
fjord systems in the world. Its complex topography harbors an aquaculture industry that is …

Two physical mechanisms leading to lateral accumulation of sediment in tidally dominated
estuaries are investigated, involving Coriolis forcing and lateral density gradients. An …

Suspension-feeding bivalve molluscs are confronted with a wide range of materials in the
benthic marine environment. These materials include various sized plankton and the …

The long-term response of circulation processes to external forcing has been quantified for
the Columbia River estuary using in situ data from an existing coastal observatory …
