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 …

The literature on estuarine physical studies is vast, diverse and contains many valuable
case studies in addition to pure, process-based research. This essay is an attempt to …

Effects of Bathymetry, Friction, and Rotation on Estuary–Ocean Exchange in: Journal of
Physical Oceanography Volume 33 Issue 11 (2003) Jump to Content Jump to Main …

We extend the 3D unstructured-grid model previously developed for the Upper Chesapeake
Bay to cover the entire Bay and its adjacent shelf, and assess its skill in simulating saltwater …

The response of the Chesapeake Bay to river discharge under the influence and absence of
tide is simulated with a numerical model. Four numerical experiments are examined:(1) …

We evaluate the hypothesis that sea‐level rise over the second half of the 20th century has
led to detectable increases in Chesapeake Bay salinity. We exploit a simple, statistical …

Acoustic Doppler current profiles were measured for a twelve-hour period on February 21,
1997 across Thimble Shoal channel, lower Chesapeake Bay, for the purpose of determining …

A three-dimensional hydrodynamic model is used to investigate intra-tidal and spring–neap
variations of turbulent mixing, stratification and residual circulation in the Chesapeake Bay …

Water velocity data from acoustic Doppler current profilers and electromagnetic current
meters deployed at six separate locations across the entrance of the Chesapeake Bay from …

Selective tidal stream transport is hypothesized as a dominant mechanism by which larvae
of marine animals move through estuarine openings. For larvae moving from the shelf to …
