Mixed Layer Models for Coastal Waters
Authors: Wm. J. Wiseman Jr., L. J. Rouse Jr., and O. K. HuhAuthor Affiliations
Publication: Coastal Engineering 1978
Abstract
The applicability of oceanic mixed-layer models to the case of wind mixing in a coastal region dominated by river runoff is explored. Two-dimensional effects and the propagation of internal-inertial waves out of the mixed layer are seen to be extremely important. Modification of the boundary conditions changes the appearance of the solutions as well. Further field work will be necessary to determine if additional terms, ignored in the oceanic models, might become important in the coastal region.
