Exchange Processes in Shallow Estuaries

Date Issued:
1972
Summary:
A modular approach to the analysis of mixing and flow characteristics in shallow tidal estuaries is presented using south Florida's Biscayne Bay as an example. The method depends on isolating relatively simple characteristic flow regimes in different parts of an estuary. These can be considered as building blocks, which when recombined in different configurations are capable of yielding a qualitative model for a specific estuary. Such models are of immediate value in preliminary assessments of estuarine water quality and interaction problems. This method can provide a base for further studies where more precise information is needed.
