Lagrangian Tracer Transport and Dispersion in Shallow Tidal Inlets & River Mouths

Abstract

Long-term objectives are developing and field testing numerical models of shallow water breaking waves and wave-driven processes including mixing, currents, and transport and dispersion of tracers. Calibrated models will provide improved prediction of the fate of tracers (e.g. pollution, fine sediment, chemicals) in very shallow water. Objectives during the past year included continued analysis of existing data sets, and extending our existing field capability in preparation for participation in the tidal inlet/river mouth DRI.
