Recent research in estuaries challenges the long-standing paradigm of the gravitationally
driven estuarine circulation. In estuaries with relatively strong tidal forcing and modest …

Turbulent mixing is an important mechanism that controls the transport of materials and
energy in coastal transitional water bodies such as lagoons, thereby affecting their internal …

A cruise survey of the Pearl River plume during southeasterly and southwesterly winds, two
typical wind patterns in summer in Guangdong coastal waters, is reported and the cruise …

We investigate the occurrence of shear instability in the Fraser River estuary. Instabilities
observed with an echo sounder are compared with a linear stability analysis based on …

This study analyzed the hydrodynamic structure of the estuary and plume of a large, tropical,
and strongly-stratified river, the Magdalena. The Magdalena River is the largest source of …

Total Exchange Flow, Entrainment, and Diffusive Salt Flux in Estuaries in: Journal of

The initial composition of a river plume depends on the cumulative turbulent entrainment
within the estuary and how this dilutes the supplied freshwater. Here we examine the …

Isohaline coordinate analysis is used to compare the exchange flow in two contrasting
estuaries, the long (with respect to tidal excursion) Hudson River and the short Merrimack …

The morphodynamics of large sand‐bedded rivers and estuaries are ultimately controlled by
the way bed material is moved and the development of large, subaqueous sand dunes that …
