摘要: In this chapter, the fundamentals of turbulence and stratification are developed in context estuarine coastal flows. We start with a theoretical development dynamics sheared, stratified flow, including turbulent lengthscales energetic, effects boundaries, efficiency mixing. The remainder chapter is dedicated to application these estuaries, river plumes, shelf seas. categorize estuaries as persistently stratified, periodically unstratified, discuss structure variability mixing each case. direct interaction freshwater flows ocean considered where we define plume consider both active passive plume. Finally, seas, may be due either influence or thermal structure, spatial temporal stratification.
