摘要: The objectives of this paper were three-fold: (a) Develop a three-dimensional method modelling hydrodynamics in and around atolls. (b) Establish physical processes benthic shear velocity stress as significant for habitat suitability coral reefs. (c) Enrich morphological detail case Rongelap atoll, example. last objective is still work-in progress, but the present has provided good review atoll methods established our indicator, measured by new tool: “under water weather balloon”, which can be used resource assessment surveyors to quantify hydrodynamic climate at dive sites. Sound methodology powerful tool that answer many questions, such what drives larval settlement an isolated would likely trajectories sand, larvae, anthropogenic pollutants. Hydrodynamic may useful classify regions atoll’s sub-units on basis bathymetry establish direction magnitude bottom velocity, specifically empower managers estimate fate effluent from aquaculture cages,
