Mixing and transport in coastal river plumes

AR Horner-Devine, RD Hetland… - Annual Review of …, 2015 - annualreviews.org
River plumes are generated by the flow of buoyant river water into the coastal ocean, where
they significantly influence water properties and circulation. They comprise dynamically …

Unbalanced reduction of nutrient loads has created an offshore gradient from phosphorus to nitrogen limitation in the N orth S ea

A Burson, M Stomp, L Akil… - Limnology and …, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Measures to reduce eutrophication have often led to a more effective decline of phosphorus
(P) than nitrogen (N) concentrations. The resultant changes in riverine nutrient loads can …

What proportion of riverine nutrients reaches the open ocean?

J Sharples, JJ Middelburg, K Fennel… - Global …, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Globally, rivers deliver significant quantities of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) to the
coastal ocean each year. Currently, there are no viable estimates of how much of this N and …

Seasonal and interannual variability within the Louisiana coastal current: stratification and hypoxia

WJ Wiseman, NN Rabalais, RE Turner… - Journal of Marine …, 1997 - Elsevier
Ten years of mid-summer survey cruise data mapping the west Louisiana inner shelf,
supplemented by data from occasional cruises along a single transect and time series data …

Dynamical properties of a buoyancy‐driven coastal current

A Münchow, RW Garvine - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 1993 - Wiley Online Library
The outflow of buoyant waters from major estuaries affects the dynamics of inner continental
shelves profoundly as lateral density gradients force an alongshore current. Often the …

Tidal mixing sustains a bottom‐trapped river plume and buoyant coastal current on an energetic continental shelf

T Wu, H Wu - Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Conventional wisdoms on river plume dynamics suggest that a down‐shelf buoyant coastal
current will ultimately be trapped at a specific depth, that is, the trapping depth, as …

Nuisance foam events and Phaeocystis globosa blooms in Dutch coastal waters analyzed with fuzzy logic

AN Blauw, FJ Los, J Huisman, L Peperzak - Journal of Marine Systems, 2010 - Elsevier
Phaeocystis globosa is a nuisance algal species because it can cause foam on beaches
which are associated with coastal blooms. Models of Phaeocystis have considered its bloom …

Using the potential energy anomaly equation to investigate tidal straining and advection of stratification in a region of freshwater influence

GJ De Boer, JD Pietrzak, JC Winterwerp - Ocean Modelling, 2008 - Elsevier
In this paper we derive the potential energy anomaly equation suitable for the analysis of
three-dimensional numerical models. We apply this equation to the results of an idealised …

The modification of tidal ellipses by stratification in the Rhine ROFI

AJ Souza, JH Simpson - Continental Shelf Research, 1996 - Elsevier
We report on recent observations of the vertical structure of density and velocity profiles,
using a bottom mounted ADCP, in the Rhine ROFI system in the North Sea which confirms …
