Ypma, S.L. (author), Spall, M. A. (author), Lambert, E. (author), Georgiou, S. (author), Pietrzak, J.D. (author), Katsman, C.A. (author)The Nordic seas are commonly described as a single basin to investigate their dynamics and sensitivity to environmental changes when using a theoretical framework. Here, we introduce a conceptual model for a two-basin marginal sea that better represents the Nordic seas geometry. In our conceptual model, the marginal sea is characterized by...journal article 2020

Ypma, S.L. (author), Brüggemann, N. (author), Georgiou, S. (author), Spence, P. (author), Dijkstra, H. A. (author), Pietrzak, J.D. (author), Katsman, C.A. (author)The pathways and watermass transformation of the North Icelandic Irminger Current (NIIC) in the Nordic Seas are investigated by tracing the NIIC watermass in two ocean circulation models: the Modular Ocean Model (MOM) and the Parallel Ocean Program (POP). The two simulations use identical atmospheric forcing and have a horizontal resolution of 0...journal article 2019

van Westen, René M. (author), Dijkstra, Henk A. (author), Klees, R. (author), Riva, R.E.M. (author), Slobbe, D.C. (author), van der Boog, C.G. (author), Katsman, C.A. (author), Candy, A.S. (author), Pietrzak, J.D. (author), Zijlema, Marcel (author), James, Rebecca K. (author), Bouma, Tjeerd J. (author)The Yucatan Channel connects the Caribbean Sea with the Gulf of Mexico and is the main outflow region of the Caribbean Sea. Moorings in the Yucatan Channel show high-frequent variability in kinetic energy (50–100 days) and transport (20–40 days), but the physical mechanisms controlling this variability are poorly understood. In this study, we...journal article 2018

Meirelles, Saulo (author), Henriquez, M. (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author), Luijendijk, Arjen (author), Pietrzak, J.D. (author), Horner-Devine, Alexander R. (author), Souza, Alejandro J. (author), Stive, M.J.F. (author)The Sand Engine is a 21.5 million m<sup>3</sup> experimental mega-nourishment project that was built in 2011 along the Dutch coast. This intervention created a discontinuity in the previous straight sandy coastline, altering the local hydrodynamics in a region that is influenced by the buoyant plume generated by the Rhine River. This work...journal article 2018

De Nijs, M.A.J. (author), Pietrzak, J.D. (author), Winterwerp, J.C. (author)An analysis of field measurements recorded over a tidal cycle in the Rotterdam Waterway is presented. These measurements are the first to elucidate the processes influencing the along-channel current structure and the excursion of the salt wedge in this estuary. The salt wedge structure remained stable throughout the measuring period. The...journal article 2011
