Modelling the tidal mixing fronts and seasonal stratification of the Northwest European Continental shelf

J Holt, L Umlauf - Continental Shelf Research, 2008 - Elsevier
We investigate mixing processes under stratified conditions on the Northwest European
Continental shelf using a numerical model (POLCOMS). Our results indicate that convection …

Saline intrusion in partially mixed estuaries
