Seasonal variation in seabed elevation in the muddy intertidal zone of the Chao Phraya River delta, an area of serious coastal erosion for 40 years, was assessed using information on waves and tides predicted by numerical simulations. The study area is under the influence of the Southeast Asian monsoon climate and lies in the innermost part of a sheltered gulf, across which a low‐gradient slope has developed. Observations, aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of a prototype breakwater on mitigating coastal erosion, indicated that the seasonal variation in the seabed elevation, typically about 30 cm, was caused primarily by seasonal changes in wave direction and height. The breakwater seems to have contributed to a net rise in the seabed level at sites behind the structure. Seabed erosion was most apparent during the northeast monsoon, when waves are weak. Erosion under this low wave energy state was attributed to the combined effect of wave breaking and the low tidal level. A difference in the observed seabed accretion rate between the transitional intermonsoon period and the succeeding southwest monsoon period was attributed to the direction of the wave energy flux; offshore sediments seem to have been supplied efficiently to the study area by waves during the transitional period. Another potential cause of seabed erosion and accretion during the wet southwest monsoon season was the discharge of water and sediments from local canals associated with intense tropical rainfall; this discharge seems to be linked to land use in the coastal area. The results of this study show the importance of monitoring across‐shore sediment transport for better understanding of coastal erosion processes. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Although plankton bloom incidents in the upper Gulf of Thailand (UGoT) have been reported, no dynamic investigation of the
phenomenon has been conducted. To address this need, a simple pelagic ecosystem model coupled with the Princeton Ocean Model
(POM) was employed to investigate seasonal variations in surface chlorophyll-a (chl-a) distributions to clarify phytoplankton
dynamics in this area. The results revealed patterns of seasonal chl-a distribution that correspond to local wind, water movement
and river discharge. High chl-a patchiness was found to be concentrated near the western coast following westward circulation
near the northern coast developed during the northeast monsoon. During the southwest monsoon high concentrations were observed
around the northeastern coast due to eastward flow. The simulated results could explain the seasonal shifting of phytoplankton
blooms, which typically arise along the western and eastern coasts during the northeast and the southwest monsoons, respectively.
Sensitivity analyses of simulated chl-a distributions demonstrate that water stability, including wind-induced vertical currents
and mixing, plays significant roles in controlling phytoplankton growth. Nutrients in the water column will not stimulate
strong plankton blooms unless upwelling develops or vertical diffusivity is low. This finding suggests an alternative aspect
of the mechanism of phytoplankton bloom in this region. 相似文献

We report here the first direct measurements of nutrient fluxes via groundwater discharge into the Upper Gulf of Thailand. Nutrient and standard oceanographic surveys were conducted during the wet and dry seasons along the Chao Phraya River, Estuary and out into the Upper Gulf of Thailand. Additional measurements in selected near-shore regions of the Gulf included manual and automatic seepage meter deployments, as well as nutrient evaluations of seepage and coastal waters. The river transects characterized the distribution of biogeochemical parameters in this highly contaminated urban environment. Seepage flux measurements together with nutrient analyses of seepage fluids were used to estimate nutrient fluxes via groundwater pathways for comparison to riverine fluxes. 相似文献
