In this project, the P.I. will develop an unsteady                              (time-dependent)                                                                generalization of a steady-state layer model of estuary plumes.                 The objective is to study the mechanisms responsible for observed               complex horizontal flow structure of these plumes, which is likely              due to their nonlinear dynamics, and which is not addressable by                the existing model.  Specific topics include: 1. nonlinear                      adjustment of a buoyant fluid in a channel; 2. evolution of an                  estuarine plume and its response to variable discharge, ambient                 flow, and wind stress; 3. the effect of coastal geometry on                     coastal currents;  and, 4. effects of coastal geometry on marine                layer jets.
