Scientists and engineers have observed for some time that tidal amplitudes at many
locations are shifting considerably due to nonastronomical factors. Here we review …

Tides are changing worldwide at rates not explained by astronomical forcing. Rather, the
observed evolution of tides and other long waves, such as storm surges, is influenced by …

The interaction of coral reefs, both chemically and physically, with the surrounding seawater
is governed, at the smallest scales, by turbulence. Here, we review recent progress in …

Abstract Information on velocity fields in rivers is critical for designing infrastructure,
modeling contaminant transport, and assessing habitat. Although non‐contact approaches …

Although river discharge is a fundamental hydrologic quantity, conventional methods of
streamgaging are impractical, expensive, and potentially dangerous in remote locations …

Conventional, field-based streamflow monitoring in remote, inaccessible locations such as
Alaska poses logistical challenges. Safety concerns, financial considerations, and a desire …

In estuarine environments tidal variation affects turbulence and associated sediment
transport processes near the bed. In situ turbulence and sediment data from the benthic …

Synoptic information on bed shear stress is necessary in predicting the transport of
sediments and environmental contaminants in rivers and open channels. Existing methods …

Understanding the temporal and spatial characteristics of turbulent coherent structures is of
interest to the emergent sector of marine renewable energy for power generation from tidal …

The rate of dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy is estimated using Seaglider observations
of vertical water velocity in the midlatitude North Atlantic. This estimate is based on the large …
