11th Warnemünde Turbulence Days on Linking Ocean Mixing and Circulation at Various Scales What: Forty-five participants from 10 countries met to discuss contemporary issues of marine turbulence with a focus on the linkage between mixing and overturning circulation on all scale ...
Structure and intensity of estuarine exchange flow depend significantly on the eddy viscosity Av profile which is dynamically linked to various forces (e.g., gravitational, tidal, wind-driven). The impact of winds on the exchange flow is complex due to its direct (l ...
A local eddy viscosity parameterization for wind-driven estuarine exchange flow. Part I
Stratification dependence
A new parameterization for the estuarine turbulent eddy viscosity coefficient is developed considering the influence of wind forcing and feedback between stratification and shear. The emerging tidally averaged eddy viscosity profile AvT is parameterized a ...
Intratidal and spatial variability over a slope in the Ems estuary
Robust along-channel SPM transport versus episodic events
Results from measurements are presented that were collected during a full tidal cycle in the Ems estuary, involving two landers and an anchored research vessel. The conditions were characterized by very weak winds, no wave effects, and low river run-off, so that the state was ...
This paper presents thickness-weighted averaging (TWA) in generalized vertical coordinates as a unified framework for a variety of existing tidal-averaging concepts in seas and estuaries. Vertical profiles of resulting residual quantities depend on the specific vertical coordi ...
Estuarine turbidity maxima (ETMs) are generated by a large suite of hydrodynamic and sediment dynamic processes, leading to longitudinal convergence of cross-sectionally integrated and tidally averaged transport of cohesive and noncohesive suspended particulate matter (SPM). T ...
