RISLateral Circulation Generates Flood Tide Stratification and Estuarine Exchange Flow in a Curved Tidal Inlet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ross-channel transect measurements of microstructure and velocity in a well-mixed and curved tidal inlet in the German Wadden Sea show the occurrence of significant late flood stratification. This stratification is found ...
Turbulence Asymmetries in Bottom Boundary Layer Velocity Pulses Associated with Onshore-Propagating Nonlinear Internal Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The inner shelf is a region inshore of that part of the shelf that roughly obeys Ekman dynamics and offshore of the surf zone. Importantly, this is where surface and bottom boundary layers are in close proximity, overlap, ...
Thickness-Weighted Averaging in Tidal Estuaries and the Vertical Distribution of the Eulerian Residual Transport
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis paper presents thickness-weighted averaging (TWA) in generalized vertical coordinates as a unified framework for a variety of existing tidal-averaging concepts in seas and estuaries. Vertical profiles of ...

Alongshore Variability of Shoaling Internal Bores on the Inner Shelf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Temperature and velocity measurements from 42 moorings were used to investigate the alongshore variability of nonlinear internal bores as they propagated across the central California inner shelf. Moorings were deployed ...
