Estuaries: Monitoring and Modeling the Physical System (1405146427) cover image

Estuaries are complex and fascinating natural environments, where constantly changing water depths generate rapidly reversing currents and transport vast quantities of salt, heat, and sediment on a daily basis. Estuaries: Monitoring and Modeling the Physical System examines these processes, offering extensive information about the geological evolution of estuaries, and details of bathymetry, tides, currents, salt and heat, and suspended sediment.

By carefully building a working computer model which accurately emulates the complexities inherent in estuaries, students learn quickly to model the tides and currents, and then to build and test salinity, temperature, and suspended sediment modules.

The book is supported by a supplimentary material at www.blackwellpublishing.com/hardisty which includes:

* Excel routines for individual formulae and diagrams

* Full coding for the estuarine model
