Lakes and other confined water bodies are not exposed to tides, and their wind forcing is
usually much weaker compared to ocean basins and estuaries. Hence, convective …

Exchange of material across the nearshore region, extending from the shoreline to a few
kilometers offshore, determines the concentrations of pathogens and nutrients near the …

Internal waves strongly influence the physical and chemical environment of coastal
ecosystems worldwide. We report novel observations from a distributed temperature sensing …

Linear and nonlinear internal waves are widespread phenomena with important implications
for the ocean's ecology. Here, we review the biological impacts of non-breaking internal …

Methane (CH4) produced in anoxic sediments plays a significant role in the carbon
economy of many lakes and reservoirs. CH4 released from sediments first crosses the …

An inner-shelf (IS) dye plume that formed following a 3.84-h early morning surfzone (SZ) dye
release off of Imperial Beach, California, is analyzed with in situ and aerial remotely sensed …

We address a long-standing problem of how nutrients are transported from the shelf edge
and from rivers to support regular, seasonal primary production in the interior of a wide …

The meroplanktonic larvae of many invertebrate and vertebrate species rely on physical
transport to move them across the shelf to their adult habitats. One potential mechanism for …

Lateral intrusions flowing from the boundaries of lakes and oceans might influence basin‐
scale distributions of heat, chemical solutes, sediments, and organisms. Here, observations …

The motion of particles and plankton organisms, both passive and vertically swimming, as
well as the variation of their concentration, under the action of internal waves, is considered …
