The Influence of Lateral Advection on the Residual Estuarine Circulation: A Numerical Modeling Study of the Hudson River Estuary

Scully, Malcolm E.; Geyer, W. Rockwell; Lerczak, James A. (American Meteorological Society, 2009-01)

In most estuarine systems it is assumed that the dominant along-channel momentum balance is between the integrated pressure gradient and bed stress. Scaling the amplitude of the estuarine circulation based on this balanc ...
