Abstract: The influence of nonlinear lateral advection on estuarine exchange flow is examined with a scaling analysis and eight groups of idealized numerical experiments. Nonlinear lateral advection is related to the linkage between ...

Abstract: The wind-induced circulation over laterally varying bathymetry was investigated in homogeneous systems using the three-dimensional Regional Ocean Model System (ROMS). The investigation focused on the influence of the earth?s ...

Abstract: he influence of nonlinear advection on estuarine exchange flow was investigated with observations at the transition between the James River and Chesapeake Bay, Hampton Roads, Virginia. Data were collected under different ...

Abstract: An analytical model that includes pressure gradient, friction, and the earth's rotation in both components of the flow is used to study the transverse structure of estuarine exchange flows and the nature of transverse ...

Abstract: An analytical two-dimensional model is used to describe wind-induced modifications to density-driven flows in a semienclosed rotating basin. Wind stress variations produce enhancement, inversion, or damping of density-driven ...

Abstract: Residual currents induced by asymmetric tidal mixing were examined for weakly stratified, narrow estuaries using analytical and numerical models. The analytical model is an extension of the work of R. K. McCarthy, with the ...

Abstract: he spatial structure of tidal amplitude and phase in a simplified system of connected estuaries, an idealized version of Florida?s Intracoastal Waterway, is analyzed with a linear analytical model. This model includes ...

Abstract: he dynamics associated with lateral circulation in a tidally driven estuarine channel is analyzed on the basis of streamwise vorticity. Without rotational effects, differential advection and diffusive boundary mixing produce ...

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 ...
