Following the Ixtoc I oil rig blowout in Campeche Bay we hypothesized that resulting tarballs should eventually appear in the Gulf Stream off Gerogia and that because of dynamic barriers in the innershelf little would reach nearshore areas. To test these hypotheses, surface tows to collect floating tar were taken off the coasts of Georgia and Florida in October and December, 1979.No tar was found within 40 km of the shore. All samples more than 40 km offshore contained some tar. The mean concentration was 0.82 mg m?2 with a range of 0.01–5.6 mg m?2. Closely spaced sampling showed extreme variation but trends were consistent. Perylene was the most abundant compound in the tarballs. 相似文献

Muddy sediments with their potential for containing contaminants are commonly deposited and remobilized by tidal currents in estuarine environments. We examined the mobilization and subsequent redeposition of mud in a coastal plain estuary located in the southeastern United States. Time-series data for salinity, suspended sediment concentrations and quality (percent organic matter and pigment concentrations) were obtained over a 13-hour tidal cycle. We found that fast-settling mud particles are found during the highest tidal current speeds. Particle quality analyses suggest that all the material is of similar origin, and that phaeopigment can be used as a tracer of particles in this system. These particles settle onto the bed when current speeds approach slack conditions. We speculate that the quantity of mud mobilized during neap tide is less than during spring tide resulting in an opportunity for the mud to partially consolidate on the bottom and be removed from resuspension. We further speculate that the muddy sediments are mainly derived from fringing marshes in this estuary. 相似文献

Drifter tracks and shipboard CTD observations have revealed a number of distinct features of the flood tide circulation carrying water through Beaufort Inlet, North Carolina. One of the most noteworthy of these features is a nearshore jet in the flow carrying water to the inlet on a flood tide. Characterized by a shoreward increase in longshore flow, the jet produces a narrow coastal zone over which water is carried into the inlet. The jet appears to be principally a tidal phenomenon, as it is closely reproduced by a tidally-driven barotropic numerical model. The model results also indicate the jet may be a near-inlet feature. Model simulations of spring tide conditions show the jet confined to within 4 km of the inlet mouth. Another observed phenomenon, which is reproduced by the tidal model, is a distinct splitting of the flow entering the inlet, in which water passing through a particular inlet segment tends to move up-estuary along a well-defined path. An observed flow feature not reproduced by the tidal model is an eastward skew of the region over which water is drawn into the inlet on a flood tide. This asymmetry is unrelated to the local wind. Modeling results from a previous study suggest it may be due to convergent flow at the edge of the low salinity plume issuing from the inlet. Taken together, the results of this and other recent studies in the Beaufort Inlet region reveal the importance of nearshore currents on the eastern side of the inlet in delivering oceanic-spawned larvae to the estuarine system connected to the inlet. 相似文献

In late December 1991, an accidental release of 5,700 CI of tritiated water (HTO) from the Savannah River Site was transported
via site streams into the Savannah River where it was carried downstream to the coastal zone. HTO released into a semitropical
Georgia estuary was forced into the tidal marshes surrounding the estuary as well as discharged directly into the Atlantic
Ocean. The spreading of HTO was studied with a 3D hydrodynamic model (ALGE) that includes flooding and draining of intertidal
areas. Comparisons of model simulations to measured HTO concentration showed that ALGE simulated well the general increase
and decrease of HTO as its plume passed a given area. The “sheet flow” approximation for marsh and small tidal creek flow
largely compensated for lack of model resolution and accurate bathymetry in areas with numerous small to medium-sized tidal
creeks. The water volume of the unresolved tidal creeks had to be accounted for in the simulations by increasing the initial
water depth over the marshes. ALGE and a simple box model both reproduced the trapping of HTO in intertidal areas. The time
scale over which intertidal areas import and export HTO back to the tidal channels varies between 10 and 30 days. 相似文献

We describe the tidal circulation and salinity regime of a coastal plain estuary that connects to the ocean through a flood
tide delta. The delta acts as a sill, and we examine the mechanisms through which the sill affects exchange of estuarine water
with the ocean. Given enough buoyancy, the dynamics of tidal intrusion fronts across the sill and selective withdrawal (aspiration)
in the deeper channel landward appear to control the exchange of seawater with estuarine water. Comparison of currents on
the sill and stratification in the channel reveals aspiration depths smaller than channel depth during neap tide. During neap
tide and strong vertical stratification, seawater plunges beneath the less dense estuarine water somewhere on the sill. Turbulence
in the intruding bottom layer on the sill promotes entrainment of fluid from the surface layer, and the seawater along the
sill bottom is diluted with estuarine water. During ebb flow, salt is effectively trapped landward of the sill in a stagnant
zone between the aspiration depth and the bottom where it can be advected farther upstream by flood currents. During spring
tide, the plunge point moves landward and off the sill, stratification is weakened in the deep channel, and aspiration during
ebb extends to the bottom. This prevents the formation of stagnant water near the bottom, and the estuary is flooded with
high salinity water far inland. The neapspring cycle of tidal intrusion fronts on flood coupled with aspiration during ebb
interacts with the sill to play an important role in the transport and retention of salt within the estuary. 相似文献

We describe the tidal circulation of a coastal plain estuary across a flood tide delta located at its entrance. The area connects
the downstream portion of the main estuary extending 30–40 km inland to the more complex delta reach that consists of a shallow
main channel and a series of smaller side channels. The delta acts as a frictionally dominated zone that modifies the tidal
wave from a simple sinusoid to one with ebb currents that accelerate to maximum early in the tidal cycle and last more than
one-half of the tidal cycle. Along smaller side channels, the tidal currents favor stronger flood or ebb currents, depending
upon the local surrounding morphology. The phase difference between ebb currents in the small channels relative to those in
the main channel cause some of the salt to be retained thus reducing the tendency of freshwater discharge to flush salt out
of the system. This mechanism of retention differs from the selective withdrawal mechanism described for this estuary in Blanton
et al. (2000). 相似文献

Hydrographic observations between the Izu Peninsula and Oshima Island, Japan, in May 1982, showed upwelling around the tip of the Peninsula and possibly also in the lee of Oshima Island. The upwelling introduced water as cold as 18 C with nitrate concentrations of 3M to the surface. Temperature/salinity analyses indicated that the upwelled water was of Kuroshio characteristics. Slightly fresher water was advected out of Sagami Bay in a coastal counter current.Contribution number 470 from the Shimoda Marine Research Center, University of Tsukuba. 相似文献
