Abstract: One dimensional time-averaged solutions are examined for salinity intrusion in estuaries with a breadth variation BL(X/?)n and a depth variation H(X/?)m, where X is the distance from the head of the estuary. These solutions ...

Abstract: Using the Ocean Surface Current Radar (OSCR) developed by the Rutherford?Appleton Laboratory (UK), 30 days of synoptic hourly surface current vectors were obtained for 84 locations within a nearshore region some 18 kms ...

Abstract: Localized analytical solutions are derived for the propagation of a single (predominant) tidal constituent in estuaries with strongly convergent triangular cross sections. The advective term is neglected, and the friction ...

Abstract: A new general theory has been developed to determine both the tidal response of estuaries and the effects of cross-channel tidal barriers on this response. The theory is shown to be widely applicable and provides a connecting ...

Abstract: Results are presented from the first long-term deployment of the Mark II OSCR high-frequency radar system. This new system measures surface currents at 700 preselected locations every 20 minutes at a range up to 25 km ...
