A one-dimensional, implicit, finite-difference model is
developed, calibrated and verified for three estuaries along
the central Oregon coast. The model is used to generate controlled
data for a large number of hypothetical estuaries.
Two non-dimensional coefficients, K[subscript F], and. K[subscript I], are developed
incorporating physical characteristics of the estuary which...
Proceedings of a workshop held at the Hatfield Marine Science Center, October 11-12, 2007. Edited by George W. Boehlert, Gregory R. McMurray, and Cathryn E. Tortorici.
This report summarizes the outcomes of a March 22-25, 2010, workshop in Seattle, Washington, on the environmental effects of tidal energy development. The workshop focused on building capabilities to evaluate the environmental effects of tidal energy from turbines placed in the water column throughout the United States. However, it did...
Tide-topography coupling is important for understanding surface-tide energy loss, the intermittency of internal tides, and the cascade of internal-tide energy from large to small scales. Although tide-topography coupling has been observed and modeled for 50 years, the identification of surface and internal tides over arbitrary topography has not been standardized....
