Measurement of submarine groundwater discharge in Kahana Bay, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i
Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is neither well understood nor commonly investigated in Hawai‘i, but it is recognized as a potential pollution source to coastal environments. Between 1998 and 2000, this study located and quantified both total SGD and the terrestrial SGD fraction ( ftgw) in Kahana Bay, O‘ahu. CTD casts were used to profile the water structure and identify potential areas o...
متن کاملInvestigation of submarine groundwater discharge
Coastal hydrogeologists and oceanographers now recognize the potentially significant contribution that submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) could make to the coastal ocean. SGD may be both volumetrically and chemically important to coastal water and chemical budgets. A worldwide compilation of observed SGD shows that groundwater seepage from the land to the ocean occurs in many environments al...
متن کاملNitrogen biogeochemistry of submarine groundwater discharge
To investigate the role of the seepage zone in transport, chemical speciation, and attenuation of nitrogen loads carried by submarine groundwater discharge, we collected nearshore groundwater samples (n 5 328) and examined the distribution and isotopic signature (d15N) of nitrate and ammonium. In addition, we estimated nutrient fluxes from terrestrial and marine groundwater sources. We discuss ...
متن کاملEddy correlation measurements of submarine groundwater discharge
This paper presents a new, non-invasive means of quantifying groundwater discharge into marine waters using an eddy correlation approach. The method takes advantage of the fact that, in virtually all aquatic environments, the dominant mode of vertical transport near the sediment–water interface is turbulent mixing. The technique thus relies on measuring simultaneously the fluctuating vertical v...
متن کاملSubmarine groundwater discharge in Northern Monterey Bay, California: Evaluation by mixing and mass balance models
Article history: Received 28 July 2015 Received in revised form 19 January 2016 Accepted 20 January 2016 Available online 26 January 2016 Monterey Bay, California (CA) receives nutrients from multiple sources, including river discharge, upwelling of deep water, and submarine groundwater discharge (SGD). Here we evaluate the relative importance of these sources to Northern Monterey Bay with a mi...
