TABS-2 Application to Kawainui Marsh Flood Control
The TABS-2 mathematical modeling system was used to evaluate the effectiveness of alternatives designed to eliminate flooding problems in the Kawainui Marsh located in Kailua on the east...
Gravitational Circulation in a Tidal Strait
Eight months of continuous measurements of tidal current profiles with an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) were made in Carquinez Strait, California, during 1988 for the purpose...
Set-Down in a Tidal Embayment
A mean water level in tidal bays and estuaries that is higher than the ocean mean water level (set-up) is a fairly common occurrence. Set-down of the mean water level can be shown to be...
Numerical Model Development for Oil Spill Dispersion into the Marine Environment
A 3-D oil spill model was developed to study the behaviour of heavy spilled oil in the sea. The model could describe the behaviour on the spilled oil on the sea surface, throughout the...

Airborne Remote Sensing of Breaking Waves with Implications for Gas Exchange
It is shown that airborne remote sensing can potentially relate gas mixing effects within a temporally evolving breaking wave to relectivity changes, and can identify the intensity of...
The Enhancement of Air-Sea Gas Exchange by Oceanic Whitecapping
The hypothesis that oceanic whitecaps and the accompanying buoyant bubble plumes greatly enhance the air-sea transfer coefficient of gases subject to liquid phase control has recently...
Oceanic CO2 Uptake and Future Atmospheric CO2 Concentrations
The global pattern of water column inventories of bomb-produced 14C suggests that an upwelling of bomb 14C-free...
Parameterization of Air-Ocean Gas Transfer
A renewal-type model, based on the physics of a molecular sublayer, allows the derivation of parameters to describe air-ocean gas transfer and the temperature difference across the cold...

Preliminary Earthquake Mitigation Planning to Improve Watermain Performance in Vancouver, B.C.
City of Vancouver's water transmission and distribution system is vulnerable to over 1,000 pipe leaks or main breaks from a probable large earthquake (about 7.5 M). Cast iron...
Case History of the Point Roberts Marina
This paper presents a fifteen year history of the design performance of the Point Roberts Marina. The 1,000 berth small craft harbor is located on the Strait of Georgia, immediately north...
Full Use of Waterfront in Wakayama Marina City
At Wakanoura Bay, in the center of Wakayama Shimotsu Port, Wakayama Marina City Project has been under construction. This project is expected to play a leading role in the development...
Marine Architecture and the Maritime Village
This paper discusses the types of planning, architecture and urban form appropriate to a maritime village. It outlines the design principles of waterside development and advocates the...
Conflicts Between Pleasure Boats and Fishing Boats at Marinas in Japan
At present, some half of the marinas operating in Japan have conflicts of various kinds relating to the navigation of pleasure boats. This study discusses the findings of a study on 365...
