The purpose of this contribution is to review recent developments in calculation of estuarine
scalar fluxes, to suggest avenues for future improvement, and to place the idea of flux …

The subject of ocean turbulence is in a state of discovery and development with many
intellectual challenges. This book describes the principal dynamic processes that control the …

Field measurements of turbulence are presented from two sites in Puget Sound, WA, that are
proposed for electrical power generation using tidal current turbines. Time series data from …

Sand banks and elongated sand ridges occur in many coastal and shelf seas where there is
abundant sand and where the currents are strong enough to move sediment, but they have …

Eddies with length scales of 1–10 km are commonly observed in coastal waters and play an
important role in the dispersion of water‐borne materials. The generation and evolution of …

Physical Oceanographic Processes of the Great Barrier Reef is the first comprehensive
volume describing the water circulation and its influence in controlling the distribution of …

Field measurements of tidal flow around a headland indicate secondary circulation induced
by flow curvature. The secondary flow, defined to be the flow in the plane normal to the …

The role of tidal dispersion is reassessed, based on a consideration of the relevant physical
mechanisms, particularly those elucidated by numerical simulations of tide-induced …

▪ Abstract This article reviews some aspects of the roles that laboratory experiments have
played in the study of orographic effects in the Earth's atmosphere and oceans. The review …

Mangrove swamps help control the tidal hydrodynamics of many tropical estuaries. They
generate an asymmetry of the tidal currents in both the tidal creeks and the mangrove …
