High-resolution daily sea level anomaly data are considered to identify the mesoscale eddies in the BoB utilizing py-eddy-tracker, an automated eddy detection and tracking method. Wavelet coherence analysis was conducted to find a statistically significant relation between eddy properties and climate indices. The findings indicate that anti-cyclonic eddies are more susceptible to the consequence of the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) and El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) than cyclonic eddies. Additionally, the joined impact of ENSO and IOD conceivably alters eddy activities across the BoB, as the second downwelling coastal Kelvin wave (dCKW) were absent. The mesoscale eddies exhibit correlations with climate indicators, suggesting that eddies get stronger during La Niña and negative IOD years and get weaker during El Niño and positive IOD years. This is because La Niña and negative IOD events intensify the second dCKW, while it weakens or becomes completely absent during El Niño and positive IOD years. Random Forest model was used to compare the influence of ENSO and IOD on the forecasting performance of the eddy properties. It was demonstrated that a unique positive IOD (+IOD) negatively affects the forecasting of eddy properties when using Sea Surface Temperature (SST) and SST anomalies.

These pathways are a product of complex interplay between tides, winds and waves that together shape the morphology of the NFWS. This study investigates these interactions using a high-resolution process-based model to perform a representative period simulation derived through a novel unfiltered-reduction technique. Our results reveal an anticlockwise residual flow circulation in the back-barrier region, which was not discernible in the residual sediment pathways. Waves primarily dictated sediment transport over intertidal flats, showing high variability in transport direction under energetic conditions. The coastline orientation and fetch size favored southward wavedriven sediment transport, opposing the northward residual flow transport driven by tidal propagation. A dynamic residual divergence pattern in the nearshore region of the barrier islands is also revealed for both sediment and flow, which moves alongshore during energetic events.

The differences between tide models and 8 offshore tide gauges were notable, with the root mean square (RMS) values ranging from 12.67 to 25.97 cm for M₂, 6.09–13.73 cm for S₂, 2.96–6.56 cm for K₁, and 2.50–4.20 cm for O₁. For the offshore stations, the NAO.99Jb model demonstrated superior performance with the root square sum (RSS) value of 12.63 cm among the eight tide models. For the island and coastal stations, the EOT20 model performed the best for M₂ (RMS 13.03 cm), the FES2014 model for S₂ (RMS 6.26 cm), and the DTU16 model for K₁ and O₁ (RMS 2.73 cm and 2.26 cm, respectively). Overall, the EOT20 model also exhibited the lowest RSS value (15.22 cm) among the eight models for 24 island and coastal stations. The EOT20 model slightly outperformed others with the RSS of 14.88 cm across all 32 tide gauges. Regarding the Sa tidal component, great discrepancies were found between TIDAL CONSTANTS (TICON) harmonic constant data and tide gauges. The reason for this is that the Doodson number for the Sa tidal component derived from tide gauge data, which is influenced by meteorological factors, should be (0,0,1,0,0,0), while the TICON harmonic constant data employed the Doodson number of (0,0,1,0,0,−1) corresponding to the basic astronomical variables. A correction method was proposed to adjust tidal constants from inconsistent Doodson numbers. Comparing with the harmonic constants of the Sa tidal component at 28 coastal tide stations revealed large errors in the NAO.99b, FES2014, and EOT20 models, with RMS values of 19.03, 22.08, and 13.61 cm, respectively.

After five months, the number of <em>B. martensi</em> perforations (as proxy as larval settlement density) and specimen sizes (length, width and volume) in the panels were measured. An inverse relationship between the perforation densities of <em>B. martensi</em> and biofouling cover on the wooden panels was observed. The most frequent biofouling species were mussels and seaweeds which tended to settle on the upper and lateral surfaces, while acorn barnacles and bryozoans were more frequent on the lower surface. <em>Bankia martensi</em> perforations were reduced with increasing biofouling cover.

However, modelling at large spatial and temporal scales remains a challenge because of the need to consider the fauna at the community level, and because animal behaviour is highly seasonal with non-linear effects of macrofauna functional trait interactions. Bioturbation processes can be linked to the activity of organisms, based on the principle of energy ecology, linking the metabolic rate to the erodibility of a sediment colonised by benthic fauna. This study investigates this postulate by evaluating the erodibility parameters of a sediment subjected to: i) the bioturbation under seasonal temperature variations; ii) the synergistic bioturbation of different species. The experimental design consisted of: i) three temperature levels (winter, spring and summer), ii) three types of species duos (<em>Cerastoderma edule</em> and <em>Macoma balthica</em>; <em>Scrobicularia plana</em> and <em>Hediste diversicolor</em>; <em>Corophium volutator</em> and <em>Peringia ulvae</em>) at 4 different relative densities. Two successive experiments were carried out on the same individuals: measurement of oxygen consumption of fauna then measurement of the erodibility of the colonised sediment in a flume. The oxygen consumption confirmed that the metabolic rate is a good model of the fauna respiration, regardless of species. The erosion results indicated that the metabolic rate in the case of the fluff layer resuspension is an interesting descriptor for 1) the assessment of the bioturbation under variable temperatures and 2) the integration of the two different bioturbator species that could co-occur in the same habitat. In contrast, the effect of bioturbation on the mass sediment erosion threshold cannot be easily modelled by using the metabolic rate and the classification in functional groups is required. Bioturbation models of the fluff layer using metabolic rate is a promising tool for modelling the effects of faunal communities on sediment transport at the scale of an estuary and over the long term, even projected in the context of global warming.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50056,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sea Research","volume":"201 ","pages":"Article 102525"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1385110124000583/pdfft?md5=3a0b6dbc61f074194f4604fd82e36564&pid=1-s2.0-S1385110124000583-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141939264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
