Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Along much of the shoreline of the world, tidal inlets play an important role in nearshore processes, providing links between the coastal oceans and protected embayments. Their study is of particular importance not only for the understanding of fundamental processes in coastal oceanography but also for engineering and the proper management of the delicate equilibrium of our shorelines. This volume, based on the International Symposium on Hydrodynamics and Sediment Dynamics of Tidal Inlets held at Woods Hole, MA, presents the reader with an overview of contemporary research on these important features. The coverage includes: - mathematical modelling, including a review of inlet hydrodynamics, - observations on hydrodynamics, - sedimentology and morphology, - tidal deltas, - processes and policies pertaining to sedimentation, and the - impacts of shore protection and dredging in beaches.

Download or read book Hydraulic and Environmental Modelling Estuarine and River Waters written by R.A. Falconer and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1992, this is the second of two volumes on recent advances in the field of hydraulic and environmental modelling, with invited and refereed contributions from an international group of engineers, scientists and planners involved in application, research and development. It covers the estuarine and river waters with parts devoted to: flow processes; flow modelling; salinity intrusion modelling; water quality modelling; sediment transport modelling; expert systems. The first volume covers coastal waters. With the continually increasing interest in the development and application of numerical hydraulic models, their value is especially evident as tools of design and management for flow, pollutant and sediment transport simulation studies in various environments. The readership includes practising engineers and scientists in the water industry, consulting engineers, water companies and the NRA and other government departments, university and polytechnic libraries, staff and students and all other members of the water engineering profession.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a benchmark study of one significant stretch of the Pacific Ocean, the Southern California Bight. Extending from Point Conception to the Mexican border and out to the 200-mile limit, these waters have never before been investigated in such detail, from so many points of view, by such an eminent group of scientists. The twenty-five expert contributors summarize everything known about the physical, chemical, geological, and biological characteristics of the area in individual chapters; the volume concludes with a synthesis of the information presented. In addition, chapters are devoted to the influence of humans on the marine environment and to the various laws and governmental agencies concerned with protecting it. Because Southern California is so heavily populated and because the ocean is a major recreational area for its people, the information in this unique volume will be invaluable for the region's planners and decisionmakers as well as for all those who study the globe's marine resources and ecology.

Download or read book Upwelling and Circulation Dynamics in the Southern California Current System written by Caroline Ford Lowcher and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southern California is part of an eastern boundary upwelling system (EBUS). This region is ecologically productive and socioeconomically significant, and how EBUS will respond to future changes in climate is of scientific and societal interest. Long-term monitoring is a key component for assessing how EBUS will be impacted by climate change and long timeseries of mooring observations are the focus of this dissertation. Anomalous poleward flow was observed in southern California prior to and during the 2014 marine heatwave and 2015 - 2016 El Niño. Prior to the El Niño, local forcing drove a strengthened wind stress curl and a more persistent Southern California Eddy (SCE). The poleward recirculation of the SCE into the Southern California Bight (SCB) brought more waters from the California Current and North Pacific Subtropical Gyre closer to the coast. During the 2015 - 2016 El Niño, remote forcing drove persistent elevated coastal sea levels which forced poleward geostrophic flows and advected tropical waters into the SCB. A volume budget was performed for southern California and this motivated developing an upwelling index. The upwelling index includes cross-shore geostrophic transport by using sea level changes right at the coast, accounting for coastal processes such as coastally trapped waves. Low-frequency upwelling anomalies indicate decreased vertical transport during the 2014 - 2016 upwelling seasons concurrent with the large-scale climate phenomenon in these years. This upwelling index is a practical tool for analyzing upwelling requiring minimal in-situ observations. The upwelling forcing is valuable for assessing the physical impact on the coastal ocean, but it may not represent the oceanic response to upwelling. Multiple physical and biogeochemical properties are used to examine the coastal oceanic response to upwelling alongside the upwelling forcing. Event statistics are calculated using the long record of in-situ measurements, in addition to investigating the low-frequency in-situ anomalies. EBUS are susceptible to harmful algal blooms and a particularly pronounced red tide is examined alongside the physical processes that supported the red tide.
