Highest richness but lowest evenness, Shannon and Simpson indices were reported for the internal gulf, followed by the lower external gulf, while the upper external zone showed lowest values. Multivariate analyses showed that all three nutrient zones are associated with distinct meiofaunal communities, with depth and sand content being the most important factors influencing the meiofaunal communities, while also discussing the potential effect of anthropogenic activities. Total organic carbon did not explain differences in meiofaunal composition, stressing the need for more precise measurements.

Month-long water level and current velocity data were collected using three acoustic Doppler current profilers. These profilers were moored at depths of around 15 m in three locations: 10 km inland from the mouth of the lagoon, within the central region, and near the head of the lagoon. Harmonic and spectral analysis applied to observations showed landward amplification of a semidiurnal tidal wave and the generation of high frequency tides. A wavelet analysis also depicted the temporal variability of each frequency band showing the generation of shallow water tides that coincided with the spring tidal cycle. The observed tidal amplification and generation of shallow water tides were reproduced using a numerical model to explore the mechanisms involved in the generation of high frequency harmonics and to determine their spatial distribution. An analytical model replicated the amplification of M<sub>2</sub> in an idealized elongated channel under high frictional forces. The four nonlinear mechanisms that led to shallow water tides generation were computed and a relationship with velocities was established using wavelet coherence. The even quadratic frictional term showed the highest coherence with the third diurnal (i.e. MK3), and seventh diurnal (i.e. 4MO<sub>7</sub>) frequency band. The fourth diurnal (i.e. M<sub>4</sub>) band was consistently related with advection and the odd frictional term. The contribution of this research is twofold: firstly, it provides new observational evidence on tidal amplification due to friction and channel geometry; and it explores the mechanisms that can generate shallow water tides.

To construct the theoretical profile, sediment settling velocity and shear velocity are necessary. The former was iteratively estimated to minimize the error between observed and modeled profiles.

Our findings reveal distinct seasonal patterns in these water masses’ distribution and properties, influenced by factors like river discharge, coastal upwelling, and net heat flux. Absolute salinity distribution showed less saline river runoff water constrained to the coastal region around the Doce River mouth and eventually in the coastal North Sector due to increased continental discharge associated with reversal southerly winds. Winter is an exception to the conservative temperature and absolute salinity distribution due to the homogeneity of cold column water and the lower input of freshwater. Particularly noteworthy is the seasonal variability observed in the River Sector, where the influence of freshwater discharge from the Doce River significantly impacts water masses distribution. CW occurrence follows the distribution of absolute salinity and the area affected by the river plume, TW is associated with the Brazil Current, and SACW occurs over the continental shelf throughout the year (despite the weak thermal gradient during the winter). At the surface, TW prevails at all sectors beyond the river influence during the autumn and past the 30 m-isobath in the remaining seasons due to upwelled waters.

The results show that waves do not affect basin-scale circulation in the Bohai Sea, and their effects on water exchange are restricted to nearshore regions, especially in estuaries with subaqueous deltas. Wave-induced age variation is around 5 %, peaking at 16 % nearshore. The wave effects on basin-scale water exchange are an order of magnitude smaller than those induced by winds, yet they govern the exchange process near the Yellow River Estuary. Analysis of age distributions with and without waves indicates that wind fetch and topographic conditions are important factors in determining the wave influence on currents. Wind and storm statistics suggest that north and northeast winds are dominant. Under these conditions, the nearshore regions in the south of the Bohai Sea and downwind areas experience strong wave forces.

In addition to those, we test the hypothesis that the decrease in Baltic Sea ice cover can also be a reason for higher surges. To study trends, we use long-term sea level and meteorological data from Estonian coastal stations and ice records in the Gulf of Riga. The ERA5 forced WRF-FVCOM modelling suite is used to quantify the effect of the lack of ice cover on sea level patterns in the Gulf of Riga and on the maxima at Pärnu during three storms.

The sea level trend-changing mechanism can apply in two ways. Firstly, some mid-winter extremely high storm surges have occurred in ice free conditions, especially in more recent decades. And secondly, when some strong winter storms did not cause remarkably high sea level events in the ice-covered Gulf of Riga, but the FVCOM indicated the potential for storm surges of at least 60 cm higher than took place. Such events could have had a notable impact in the first half of the 20th century, when seasonal ice cover on the Baltic Sea was more extensive than it is nowadays.

The model's performance in seizing the ocean's most vital features, such as sea-surface temperature (SST), salinity, chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration, and surface currents, has been analyzed. The model represents spatial dynamics, with seasonal change progressing from the northeast to the southwest within the Bay of Bengal. From MAM, the southern BoB and central region of BoB areas demonstrate warming trends, whereas the SST increase in the northern BoB is a result of JJAS. These shifts are a result of changes in sun irradiation, mixed layer depth variations, and freshwater influx. The model shows relative alignment with the observed data, except during JJAS, where higher SSTs were observed. These higher SSTs are likely due to the intricate interactions involving monsoon-driven atmospheric variability, which impacts surface heating and freshwater influx, as well as unresolved model parameters related to vertical mixing and heat flux processes. The research work to be done requires quantification of the model's performance, and the statistical methods yield a moderate correlation for both SST and concentration of Chl-a. A variety of factors, including upwelling, coastal dynamics, and atmospheric processes, can explain these patterns. The paper emphasises the idea of the complex character of coastal processes, and it emphasises the importance of adequate representation of these phenomena in the models. The modelling of concentrations of Chl-a also exhibits a distinct seasonal trend, and the model duplicates essential features but shows biases near the coastal areas, likely due to limitations in the model's horizontal resolution, the treatment of freshwater input, and the representation of coastal upwelling processes. Positive and negative anomalies of the SST and the concentration of Chl-a are connected with the complex interaction of ocean-atmosphere systems, thereby demonstrating the interplay of different factors. Fundamentally, the research points to the significance of faithful simulation of ocean circulation and coupled elements for the proper assessment of the highly complicated BoB dynamics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50618,"journal":{"name":"Continental Shelf Research","volume":"289 ","pages":"Article 105452"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143644304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
