SUSPENDED LOAD CALCULATIONS IN A TIDAL ESTUARY

Numerical Modeling of Suspended Sediment Transport Affected by Tidal Bore in Qiantang Estuary

PAN, C. and HUANG, W., 2010. Numerical modeling of suspended sediment transport in Qiantang River: an estuary affected by tidal bore. Journal of Coastal Research, 26(6), 1123–1132. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Study of suspended sediment transport in an estuary affected by tidal bore is important for coastal engineering and management because the tidal bore can cause strong sedime...

Zooplankton sample variability in a tidal estuary :

A series of 347 vertical zooplankton hauls was made at a 175-h anchor station in the upper St. Lawrence estuary, Quebec, and current meter profiles were recorded. The 95% confidence interval of a single observation in most of the copepod time series was about 25400% of the mean. Temporal variability consisted for the most part of semidiurnal fluctuations superimposed on a long term trend. Other...

Modeling the tidal and sub-tidal hydrodynamics in a shallow, micro-tidal estuary

Circulation and Suspended Particulate Matter Transport in a Tidally Dominated Estuary: Caravelas Estuary, Bahia, Brazil

The circulation and transport of suspended particulate matter in the Caravelas Estuary are assessed. Nearlysynoptic hourly hydrographic, current (ADCP velocity and volume transport) and suspended particulate matter data were collected during a full semidiurnal spring tide, on the two transects Boca do Tomba and Barra Velha and on longitudinal sections at low and high tide. On the first transect...

Quantification of Water and Salt Exchanges in a Tidal Estuary

A calibrated three-dimensional hydrodynamic model was applied to study subtidal water and salt exchanges at various cross sections of the Perdido Bay and Wolf Bay system using the Eulerian decomposition method from 6 September 2008 to 13 July 2009. Salinity, velocity, and water levels at each cross section were extracted from the model output to compute flow rates and salt fluxes. Eulerian anal...
