In this talk I will explain how turbulence is accounted for in estuarine physics, how we measure turbulence in the physical environment, and will show results from one case study in Frenchman Bay, Maine, an area known for its complex deglaciated coastline, strong tidal influence, and shellfishing activities that are susceptible to problematic harmful algal blooms (HABs). Measurements of current velocity, density, and turbulence collected over a semidiurnal tidal cycle (~12 h) and a companion numerical model simulation of the study area provide concurrent evidence of counter-rotating sub-mesoscale eddies (2\u20134 km diameter) that enhance near-surface mixing. The eddies are generated in the wake of several islands in an area with abrupt bathymetric gradients, both legacy conditions partly derived from deglaciation ~15 kya. Increased concentrations of algal cells measured during the 12 h survey follow a trend of elevated turbulent dissipation rates near the water surface due to the eddies. Our findings provide incentive to examine current practices of HAB monitoring and management by linking coastal geomorphology to hydraulic conditions influencing HAB sampling outcomes.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nContact: Chris DiScenza", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"130194-21865581@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/130194", "building_id":"1000166", "building_name":"East Hall", "campus_maps_id":"53", "room":"1084", "location_name":"East Hall", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Mathematics"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Applied Interdisciplinary Mathematics (AIM) Seminar - Department of Mathematics", "group_id":"4882", "website":"" }, { "group_name":"Department of Mathematics", "group_id":"3791", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21865581 } , "134661-21874680": { "datetime_modified":"20250403T152238", "datetime_start":"20250418T150000", "datetime_end":"20250418T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-04-18", "date_end":"2025-04-18", "time_start":"15:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Bilmes Visiting Filmmaker Series: Alan Rudolph", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Bilmes Visiting Filmmaker Series: Alan Rudolph", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"Noted director Alan Rudolph will share items of interest discovered while looking through Screen Arts Mavericks & Makers collections (https:\/\/myumi.ch\/G2W3b).
