Zhu, C. (author), van Maren, D.S. (author), Guo, Leicheng (author), Lin, J. (author), He, Qing (author), Wang, Zhengbing (author)The mechanisms controlling the formation of an estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM) in estuaries have been extensively investigated, but one aspect that has received much less scientific attention is the role of high suspended sediment concentrations in combination with tidal asymmetry in ETM formation. Particularly in highly turbid estuaries,...journal article 2022

Yu, Q. (author), Wang, Y. (author), Gao, J. (author), Gao, S. (author), Flemming, B. (author)Traditionally, vertical circulation (induced by gravity circulation and tidal straining), tidal pumping, and resuspension are suggested as the major processes for the formation and maintenance of the estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM). Due to strong mixing, tidal pumping is considered as the dominating process in macrotidal estuaries. To analyze...journal article 2014

Chernetsky, A.S. (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author), Talke, S.A. (author)Over decades and centuries, the mean depth of estuaries changes due to sea-level rise, land subsidence, infilling, and dredging projects. These processes produce changes in relative roughness (friction) and mixing, resulting in fundamental changes in the characteristics of the horizontal (velocity) and vertical tides (sea surface elevation) and...journal article 2010
