River plumes are generated by the flow of buoyant river water into the coastal ocean, where
they significantly influence water properties and circulation. They comprise dynamically …

The three‐dimensional model presented in this paper is used to study how tidal currents
form wave‐like bottom patterns. Inclusion of vertical flow structure turns out to be necessary …

In this paper we derive the potential energy anomaly equation suitable for the analysis of
three-dimensional numerical models. We apply this equation to the results of an idealised …

A height-and flow-dependent model for turbulent viscosity is employed to explain the
generation of sand waves in tidal seas. This new model resolves the problem of excitation of …

This work describes the design and validation of a high-resolution (1/36°) ocean forecasting
model over the" Iberian–Biscay–Irish"(IBI) area. The system has been set-up using the …

This textbook is a self-contained introduction to tides that will be useful for courses on tides
in oceans and coastal seas at an advanced undergraduate and postgraduate level, and will …

Three turbulence closure schemes, designed for stratified shallow water flows, are
presented. They are based upon κ-ε theory and use respectively two, one or zero transport …

Wave‐supported gravity flows (WSGFs) generate rates of sediment flux far exceeding other
cross‐shelf transport processes, contributing disproportionately to shelf morphology and net …

A three-dimensional mode-splitting, σ-coordinate barotropic finite-difference model, with
subgrid scale diffusion represented using a range of eddy viscosity closure models, is used …

Thermal and optical remote sensing data were used to investigate the spatial and temporal
distribution of sea surface temperature (SST) and of suspended particulate matter (SPM) in …
