Control of phytoplankton production by physical forcing in a strongly tidal, well-mixed estuary
A zero-dimensional model for phytoplanktonic production in turbid, macro-tidal, well-mixed estuaries is proposed. It is based on the description of light-dependent algal growth, phytoplankton respiration and mortality. The model is forced by simple time-functions for solar irradiance, water depth and light penetration. The extinction coefficient is directly related to the dynamics of suspended ...
متن کاملTransport in the Hudson Estuary: A Modeling Study of Estuarine Circulation and Tidal Trapping
The effects of estuarine circulation and tidal trapping on transport in the Hudson estuary were investigated by a large-scale, high-resolution numerical model simulation of a tracer release. The modeled and measured longitudinal profiles of surface tracer concentrations (plumes) differ from the ideal Gaussian shape in two ways: on a large scale the plume is asymmetric with the downstream end st...
متن کاملUndular tidal bore dynamics in the Daly Estuary, Northern Australia
Measurements in the macro-tidal Daly Estuary show that the presence of an undular tidal bore contributed negligibly to the dissipation of tidal energy. No recirculation bubble was observed between a trough and the following wave crest in the lee waves following the undular bore. This differs to stationary undular bores in laboratory experiments at larger Froude numbers where a recirculation bub...
متن کاملEffects of semidiurnal tidal circulation on the distribution of holo- and meroplankton in a subtropical estuary
We examined how tidal changes and which physical factors affected holo- and meroplankton assemblages in a subtropical estuary in Taiwan in February 1999. A factor analysis showed that during tidal flooding, the water mass properties changed from low salinity (5-16) and high particulate organic carbon (POC, 2.6-4.5 mg L(-1)) content to increasing salinity and high total suspended matter content ...
متن کاملTidal and spring-neap variations in horizontal dispersion in a partially mixed estuary
[1] A sequence of dye releases in the Hudson River estuary provide a quantitative assessment of horizontal dispersion in a partially mixed estuary. Dye was released in the bottom boundary layer on 4 separate occasions, with varying tidal phase and spring-neap conditions. The three-dimensional distribution of dye was monitored by two vessels with in situ, profiling fluorometers. The three-dimens...
