Observations of the flow in the Mozambique Channel

WPM de Ruijter, H Ridderinkhof… - Geophysical …, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
During a recent research cruise to investigate the nature and continuity of the Mozambique
Current, we observed that the flow in the Mozambique Channel is dominated by a train of …

Eddies and variability in the Mozambique Channel

MW Schouten, WPM de Ruijter… - Deep Sea Research …, 2003 - Elsevier
Between 1995 and 2000, on average 4 eddies per year are observed from satellite altimetry
to propagate southward through the Mozambique Channel, into the upstream Agulhas …

Chaotic stirring in a tidal system

H Ridderinkhof, JTF Zimmerman - Science, 1992 - science.org
An analysis of a two-dimensional tidal model of the Wadden Sea reveals Lagrangian chaos
in the trajectories of water parcels. The associated chaotic stirring results from the transverse …

Morphodynamics of the Wadden Sea and its barrier island system

ZB Wang, P Hoekstra, H Burchard… - Ocean & coastal …, 2012 - Elsevier
The Wadden Sea and its associated barrier island system exhibit highly dynamic behaviour.
Of major concern is the movement of water and air and the transport, erosion and …

Seasonal and interannual variability in the Mozambique Channel from moored current observations

H Ridderinkhof, PM Van der Werf… - Journal of …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
Direct observations from an array of current meter moorings across the Mozambique Channel
in the south‐west Indian Ocean are presented covering a period of more than 4 years. …

Moored current observations in the Mozambique Channel

H Ridderinkhof, WPM de Ruijter - Deep Sea Research Part II: Topical …, 2003 - Elsevier
Observations from an array of current meter moorings across the narrowest section of the
Mozambique Channel are used to study the general characteristics of the current field and to …

An analytical study of chaotic stirring in tidal areas

SP Beerens, H Ridderinkhof, JTF Zimmerman - Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 1994 - Elsevier
Chaotic advection is studied in a flow representative of tidal areas. The flow consists of a
residual flow, represented by a lattice of eddies, perturbed by a tidal flow. The physical …

Strong inertial currents and marginal internal wave stability in the central North Sea

H van Haren, L Maas, JTF Zimmerman… - Geophysical …, 1999 - Wiley Online Library
Solar insolation stabilizes the water column and suppresses vertical exchange. Observations
from the central North Sea clearly show that increased heating in summer is accompanied …

Tidal and residual flows in the western Dutch Wadden Sea I: numerical model results

H Ridderinkhof - Netherlands Journal of Sea Research, 1988 - Elsevier
A two-dimensional numerical model, which includes tidal basins in the western Dutch Wadden
Sea and a part of the adjacent North Sea, is used to study tidal and tidally-driven residual …

Impact of interannual variability in hydrodynamic circulation on egg and larval transport of plaice Pleuronectes platessa L. in the southern North Sea

HW Van der Veer, P Ruardij, AJ Van den Berg… - Journal of Sea …, 1998 - Elsevier
A realistic 2D circulation model of the southern North Sea was applied to simulate the
interannual variability in dispersal (advection and diffusion) of plaice Pleuronectes platessa L. …
