Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review of our knowledge of circulation and currents in the coastal water of Louisiana indicates that, despite notable progress in a few specific areas, we lack a rudimentary knowledge of the mechanics of water motion along most of the coastline. The Mississippi River salt wedge and the mixing of its effluent plume into the open water of the Gulf of Mexico are generally understood, but detailed salt balance and turbulent mixing studies should now be undertaken. The portion of the Louisiana shelf within the area 80 km west of the Mississippi has been studied in detail with regard to tidal currents, long-term drift, hydrography, and local wind drift. Summer current reversals toward the east and high tidal ranges in the vicinity of Calcasieu Lake, for example, remain unexplained. Detailed knowledge of the dynamics of our prolific coastal bays and estuaries is poor. A list of research priorities to eventually allow better utilization of our coastal waters is presented at the end of this report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past 50 years, coastal Louisiana has suffered catastrophic land loss due to both natural and human causes. This loss has increased storm vulnerability and amplified risks to lives, property, and economies-a fact underscored by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Drawing Louisiana's New Map reviews a restoration plan proposed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the State of Louisiana, finding that, although the individual projects in the study are scientifically sound, there should be more and larger scale projects that provide a comprehensive approach to addressing land loss over such a large area. More importantly, the study should be guided by a detailed map of the expected future landscape of coastal Louisiana that is developed from agreed upon goals for the region and the nation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Louisiana-Texas Coastal Current (LTCC) is a major dynamic feature responsible for the distribution of fresh water, sediment and nutrients on the northwestern shelf of the Gulf of Mexico. Earlier studies have indicated that this current exhibits a distinct although asymmetric annual cycle during which it flows downcoast, i.e., westward along the Louisiana coast and then southward along the Texas coast in fall, winter, and spring; however, in summer, the flow reverses and moves upcoast. This annual cycle of the LTCC is clearly observed with measurements from a cross-shore current meter mooring array located south of Cameron, LA in 1996 and 1997. Analyses of these data show that the currents are indeed downcoast between September 1996 and January 1997 with modest mean velocities up to 6 cm/s. During the expected upcoast regime of June-August 1996, our data show mean eastward speeds of 2-6cm/s. Cross-shelf spatial correlation length scales of the currents are well in excess of 60km during the downcoast regime but they are distinctly smaller (30-5O km) during the upcoast regime. Coherence analysis and predictions from a wind-driven model indicate that the downcoast currents and volume transport associated with them are highly coherent with alongshore wind stress. This wind stress also controls fluctuations of the upcoast currents and transport; however, it is not a dominant forcing. The data indicate that during the analyzed summer season, the alongshore sea-surface slope was also an important driving force of the LTCC.
