Numerical Simulation of Phytoplankton Productivity in Partially Mixed Estuaries
A two-dimensional steady-state model of light-driven phytoplankton productivity and biomass in partially mixed estuaries has been developed. Effects of variations in river flow, suspended sediment concentration, phytoplankton sinking, self-shading and growth rates on distributions of phytoplankton biomass and productivity are investigated. Numerical simulation experiments show that biomass and ...
متن کاملResidual Exchange Flows in Subtropical Estuaries
Observations of residual exchange flows at the entrance to four subtropical estuaries, two of them semiarid, indicate that these flows are mainly tidally driven, as they compare favorably with theoretical patterns of tidal residual flows. In every estuary examined, the tidal behavior was that of a standing or near-standing wave, i.e., tidal elevation and tidal currents were nearly in quadrature...
متن کاملA Pushnet for Quantitative Sampling of Shrimp in Shallow Estuaries
The shallow estuaries and bayous of the Gulf Coast are used extensively as nursery grounds by several species of commercially important shrimp. In our studies on the estuarine phase of the life cycles of Penaeus setiferus and Penaeus u&ecus, sampling for post-larval and juvenile shrimp in the nursery areas presents a problem. The young shrimp tend to concentrate in areas of stiff salt-cord gras...
متن کاملNon - linear Tidal Distortion in Shallow Well - mixed Estuaries : a Synthesisa
The importance of asymmetric tidal cycles in the transport and accumulation of sediment in shallow well-mixed estuaries is well establishe!;L .Along the U.S. Atlantic Coast, tidal amplitude, bottom friction, and system geometry determine tidal distortion as documented at 54 tide gauges in 26 tidally dominated estuaries of varying geometry having negligible freshwater inflow. Analyses of sea-sur...
