Spectral Irradiance and Phytoplankton Community Composition In Blackwater Estuaries
… communities. Cryptophytes dominated when wind-induced mixing was low, whereas diatoms were abundant when water column mixing was more pronounced. In North Inlet, phytoplankton community composition consisted mainly of diatoms, prasinophytes, cryptophytes and haptophytes, and shifts in …

Species-specific patterns in bivalve larval supply to a coastal embayment
… in 2009 compared to 2007 was attributed to more wind-induced mixing and better food availability in 2009. Integrative samples over each tidal event for a 14-day period demonstrated that larvae were mostly constrained by water masses. During a period when there were sharp tidal signals in …

Interaction between the coastal ocean and the estuarine systems
<p>Fluctuating winds change the interaction between an estuary and its adjacent coastal ocean. This change in the interaction determines how the wind-induced changes in the estuary influence the near-shore coastal ocean and vice-versa.</p><p>The first chapter examines the water properties in the …

Numerical Modelling of Wind-driven Hydrodynamics in Shallow Wastewater Ponds and Coastal Estuaries
… Delft3D model. Hydrodynamics were primarily wind-driven, with smaller contributions from outflows, and circulation patterns were classified into four hydraulic regimes. Vertical temperature differences of up to 8.0°C over the 1.7 m depth between the surface and bed were observed during an …
