Small rivers, such as those that line the Oregon coast, have been shown to deliver significant concentrations of suspended sediments and nutrients to estuaries and the coastal ocean during wet seasons during which winds are predominantly downwelling-favorable. The fate of the buoyant source water and of any suspended or dissolved...
In this paper, we derive the fundamental solution to the heat equation with a discontinuous diffusion coefficient in the free space, with an absorbing boundary, and with a reflecting boundary. We use the fundamental solution with an absorbing boundary to make connections with the transition probability density of absorbed Skew...
