Tide-modulated hyperpycnal flows off the Huanghe (Yellow River) mouth, China
  • Tide-modulated hyperpycnal flows off the Huanghe (Yellow River) mouth, China
  • The paper describes hyperpycnal flows observed in situ off the Huanghe (Yellow River) mouth, their relationship to tidal cycles, and the mechanisms that drive them. Simultaneous observations at six mooring stations during a cruise off the Huanghe
  • mouth in the flood season of 1995 suggest that hyperpycnal flows observed at the river mouth are initiated by high concentrations of sediment input from river and modulated by tides. Hyperpycnal flows started near the end of ebb tides, when near-bottom
  • suspended sediment concentration (SSC) increased rapidly and salinity decreased drastically. The hyperpycnal flows have an important impact on both sediment dispersal and coastal morphology at the mouth of the Huanghe.

Morphological evolution of mouth bars on the Yangtze estuarine waterways in the last 100 years
  • Morphological evolution of mouth bars on the Yangtze estuarine waterways in the last 100 years

River mouth bar formation, riverbed aggradation and channel migration in the modern Huanghe (Yellow) River delta, China
  • River mouth bar formation, riverbed aggradation and channel migration in the modern Huanghe (Yellow) River delta, China
