Horemans, D.M.L. (author), Dijkstra, Y.M. (author), Tackx, Michèle (author), Meire, Patrick (author), Cox, Tom J.S. (author)Estuaries often show regions in which Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) accumulates. The location and magnitude corresponding to such accumulation result from a complex interplay between processes such as river flushing, salinity, nutrients, grazing on phytoplankton, and the light climate in the water column. An example is the multi-annual evolution of...journal article 2023

Best, U.S.N. (author), van der Wegen, Mick (author), Dijkstra, Jasper (author), Reyns, J.A.H. (author), van Prooijen, Bram (author), Roelvink, D. (author)Coastal mangroves, thriving at the interface between land and sea, provide robust flood risk reduction. Projected increases in the frequency and magnitude of climate impact drivers such as sea level rise and wind and wave climatology reinforce the need to optimize the design and functionality of coastal protection works to increase resilience....journal article 2022

(author)In this paper, we propose open machine learning models that can provide airport delay predictions in a network with an error of around or less than five minutes. Due to the complexity of different components of air traffic networks, traditional flight performance model-based predictions fall short when dealing with numerous flights and often are...conference paper 2022

Jongbloed, Hendrik (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author), Dijkstra, Y.M. (author), Donkers, Paul B. (author), Hoitink, Antonius J.F. (author)An idealized width-averaged model is employed to study the influence of wind stress on subtidal salt intrusion and stratification in well-mixed and partially stratified estuaries. We show that even in mild conditions, wind forcing can influence the estuarine salinity structure in a substantial way. By studying the role of wind forcing on...journal article 2022

Wang, Jinyang (author), Dijkstra, Y.M. (author), de Swart, Huib E. (author)An estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM) results from various subtidal sediment transport mechanisms related to, e.g., river, tides, and density gradients, which have been extensively analysed in single-channel estuaries. However, ETMs have also been found in estuaries composed of multiple interconnected tidal channels, where the water and...journal article 2022

Dijkstra, Y.M. (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author), Kranenburg, W.M. (author)Tidally averaged transport of salt in estuaries is controlled by various subtidal and tidal processes. In this study, we show the relative importance of various subtidal and tidal transport processes in a width-averaged sense. This is done for a large range of forcing and geometric parameters, which describe well-mixed to salt wedge estuaries...journal article 2022

van der Boog, C.G. (author), Molemaker, M. J. (author), Dijkstra, H. A. (author), Pietrzak, J.D. (author), Katsman, C.A. (author)Mesoscale anticyclonic eddies dominate the sea-surface height variability in the Caribbean Sea. Although it is well established that these anticyclones are formed near the eastern boundary of the Caribbean Sea, which is demarcated by the Lesser Antilles, the source of their anticyclonic vorticity remains unclear. To gain insight into this...journal article 2022

van der Boog, C.G. (author), Dijkstra, Henk A. (author), Pietrzak, J.D. (author), Katsman, C.A. (author)Because of its pronounced fresh signature, the properties of the northward-flowing Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) affect the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Hence, understanding modifications of AAIW along its path is important. Here, we analyze AAIW changes along its path in the Caribbean Sea and assess whether vertical...journal article 2022

Payo-Payo, Marta (author), Bricheno, Lucy M. (author), Dijkstra, Y.M. (author), Cheng, Weicong (author), Gong, Wenping (author), Amoudry, Laurent O. (author)Salt intrusion in surface waters endangers freshwater availability, influences water quality, and affects estuarine ecosystem services with high economic and social values. Salt transport and the resulting salinity distributions result from the non-linear interactions between salt and water dynamics. Estuaries are often considered under ...journal article 2022

Li, J. (author), Li, Chenhui (author), Henneken, Vincent (author), Louwerse, Marcus (author), Van Rens, Jeannet (author), Dijkstra, Paul (author), Raz, Oded (author), Dekker, R. (author)The digitization of smart catheters will dramatically increase the demand for reliable and high data transmission in the distal tips. Optical fiber is a good candidate to provide high-speed data transmission. However, the extremely small size of the smart catheter tip, with less than a few millimeters in diameter, hampers the integration of...journal article 2022

Wang, Jinyang (author), Dijkstra, Y.M. (author), de Swart, Huib E. (author)Net water transport (NWT) in estuaries is important for, for example, salt intrusion and sediment dynamics. While NWT is only determined by river runoff in single channels, in estuarine networks, it results from a complex interplay between tides and residual flows. This study aims to disentangle the various contributions of these physical...journal article 2022

(author)Salt marshes can contribute to coastal protection, but the magnitude of the protection depends on the width of the marsh. The cross-shore width of the marsh is to a large extent determined by the delicate balance between seaward expansion and landward retreat. The influence of the magnitude of daily occurring mild weather conditions and...journal article 2022

Dijkstra, Y.M. (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author)The classification diagram developed by Hansen and Rattray is one of the classic papers on classification of estuarine salinity dynamics. However, we found several inconsistencies in both their stratification–circulation and estuarine classification diagrams. These findings considerably change the interpretation of their work. Furthermore, while...journal article 2021

(author)The intensity of major storm events generated within the Atlantic Basin is projected to rise with the warming of the oceans, which is likely to exacerbate coastal erosion.

Dijkstra, Y.M. (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author)The salinity structure in estuaries is classically described in terms of the salinity structure as well mixed, partially mixed, or salt wedge. The existing knowledge about the processes that result in such salinity structures comes from highly idealized models that are restricted to either well-mixed and partially mixed cases or subtidal salt...journal article 2021

They are characterized by stepped structures consisting of mixed layers of typically tens of metres thick that are separated by much thinner interfaces. Through these interfaces enhanced diapycnal salt and heat transport take place. In this study, we present a global dataset...journal article 2021
