Exchange of material across the nearshore region, extending from the shoreline to a few
kilometers offshore, determines the concentrations of pathogens and nutrients near the …

Plastic pollution has been observed throughout the world's oceans and estuaries, whether
floating at the surface, settled in bottom sediments, washed up on beaches, or ingested by …

Internal waves are a regular feature of the open-ocean and coastal waters. As a train of
internal waves propagates, their surface induced currents modulate the surface waves …

The across‐shore transport of meroplanktonic larvae is predominantly driven by coastal
physical processes, resulting in episodic recruitment of benthic species. Historically, due to …

Shore‐oblique bathymetric features occur around the world and have been statistically
correlated with enhanced shoreline retreat on sandy beaches. However, the physical …

X‐band radar observations from the 2017 Inner Shelf Dynamics Experiment (ISDE) in
central California show multiple persistent and pulsatory rip currents on a relatively straight …

Internal waves (IW) are crucial contributors to the transport of sediment, heat, and nutrients
in coastal areas. While IW have been extensively studied using point measurements, their …

The ocean is home to many different submesoscale phenomena, including internal waves,
fronts, and gravity currents. Each of these processes entails complex nonlinear dynamics …

Cross‐shore transport of larvae, pollutants, and sediment between the surf zone and the
inner shelf is important for coastal water quality and ecosystems. Rip currents are known to …

Fixed acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) velocity measurements are used to
investigate headland vorticity generation and recirculation in∼ 20 m depth around the small …
