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

Recent advances in our understanding of estuarine circulation and salinity structure are
reviewed. We focus on well-and partially mixed systems that are long relative to the tidal …

Systematic improvements in algorithmic design of regional ocean circulation models have
led to significant enhancement in simulation ability across a wide range of space/time scales …

Because planktonic organisms have swimming speeds that are orders of magnitude lower
than horizontal current velocities, it is unclear whether behavior of weak-swimming bivalve …

The response of the circulation of a coral reef system in Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, to incident
wave forcing was investigated using field data collected during a 10-month experiment …

Coastal inundation is affected not only by rising mean sea level but also by changing tides.
A numerical model is developed to investigate how sea level rise and coastline changes …

We apply a coupled circulation‐wave model to simulate extreme sea levels induced by
tropical cyclones at the basin scale. We quantify storm tides, surges, waves, and their …

A coupled wave‐circulation numerical model was used to simulate the distribution of wave
energy, as well as the circulation induced by wave breaking, wind, and tidal forcing, within a …

The tidally varying circulation, stratification, and salt flux mechanisms are investigated in a
shallow salt wedge estuary where fluvial and tidal velocities are large and the steady …

A dynamic–thermodynamic sea ice model has been coupled to a three-dimensional ocean
general circulation model for the purpose of conducting ocean climate dynamical …
