JONSSON, L.; CHEN, C, and SHI, P. 2005, A model of the 3D circulation, salinity distribution, and transport pattern in the pearl river estuary, China, Journal of Coastal Research, 21(5), 896-908, West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208,The three-dimensional circulation, salinity distrihution, and overall transport pattern were simulated in the Pearl River Estuary, China, using a modified version of the Princeton Ocean Model (POM), The circulation in the estuary is mainly driven by tide, wind, and river runoff in a complex manner, where the relative importance of the different forcing factors varies over the year. Field data on currents from several locations in the estuary taken at different elevations through the water column were employed to validate the model together with measurements of the salinity distribution in the surface layer. Also, satellite images were utilized to qualitatively confirm the simulated overall transport pattern. Comparisons between measurements and calculations showed that the POM yielded satisfactory predictions without any particular calibration. However, for some events the coastal current outside the estuary induced by the large-scale circulation in the South China Sea affected the flow in the estuary, making it necessary to employ a more sophisticated boundary condition on the ocean side than what was initially implemented. The longterm objective of the numerical modeling of the flow and material transport in the Pearl River Estuary is to utilize the validated model for forecasting the circulation and water quality in the estuary in a comprehensive system where in-situ measurements and remote sensing are the other main components.
Praise for this book 'Delivering Energy for Development speaks directly to the "bottom up" energy access solutions that are needed in developing countries to get cleaner, more affordable and safer energy services to people. At the heart of this are diverse energy service delivery models that require a new generation of energy entrepreneurs, supportive government policies and an enabling framework including access to consumer financing to be successful. Practical Action has made a major contribution by correctly portraying people in these markets as consumers rather than beneficiaries.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
