Abstract: he relationship between lateral spreading and mixing in stratified gravity currents is investigated by comparing laterally confined and unconfined currents in a series of laboratory experiments. The vertical turbulent ...

Abstract: he authors develop a two-layer hydraulic model to determine the saline intrusion length in sloped and converging salt wedge estuaries. They find that the nondimensional intrusion length = CiL/hS depends significantly on ...

Abstract: Over the past decade, a novel free-fall imaging profiler has been under development at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography to observe and quantify biological and physical structure in the upper 100 m of the ocean. The ...
