Seepage Meters and Advective Transport in Coastal Environments : Comments on ‘ ‘ Seepage Meters and Bernoulli ’ s Revenge ’ ’ By E . A . Shinn
Seepage meters were initially introduced as a viable field measurement tool for estimating fluid discharge from canal sediments by Israelson and Reeve (1944). Lee (1977) improved this device and demonstrated its utility in lakes and coastal marine systems. Since 1977, seepage meters have been used in marshes, lagoons, bays, rivers, and lakes with varying degrees of success (e.g., Shaw and Prepa...
متن کاملAn alternative to traditional seepage meters: Dye displacement
[1] A new seepage meter design that increases sensitivity to the small hydraulic gradients that drive submarine groundwater discharge was developed as an inexpensive alternative to traditional seepage meters. The new design replaces seepage meter bags with open-ended tubing through which the displacement of injected dye is a highly reproducible measure of discharge. Laboratory measurements, det...
متن کاملSeepage into drifts with mechanical degradation.
Seepage into drifts in unsaturated tuff is an important issue for the long-term performance of the proposed nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Drifts in which waste packages will be emplaced are subject to degradation in the form of rockfall from the drift ceiling, induced by stress-relief, seismic, or thermal effects. The objective of this study is to calculate seepage rates, ...
متن کاملDevelopment and Deployment of an Ultrasonic Groundwater Seepage Meter: A Reliable Way to Measure Groundwater Seepage
Submarine groundwater discharge can significantly influence the near shore transport of chemicals into surface waters. Quantification of the sources and rates of such discharge is critical to development of management strategies. Quantification requires a groundwater seepage meter that provides continuous measurements at high resolutions over an extended period of time. An ultrasonic flow meter...
متن کاملOceanic methane seepage during warming
Atmospheric levels of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, vary greatly in the climate record and are usually thought to be due to emissions from continental wetlands. However, Tessa Hill et al. report that methane was released into the atmosphere from the oceans during the period of global warming associated with the most recent deglaciation. The results suggest that, at times, much more methane ...
