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
