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

Estuarine turbidity maxima (ETMs) are generated by a large suite of hydrodynamic and
sediment dynamic processes, leading to longitudinal convergence of cross-sectionally …

Numerical simulations of the Hudson River estuary using a terrain‐following, three‐
dimensional model (Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS)) are compared with an …

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 …

The dynamics of lateral circulation in an idealized, straight estuary under varying
stratification conditions is investigated using a three-dimensional, hydrostatic, primitive …
