TL;DR: In this article, an integrated synthesis with timelines and evaluations of ecological responses to eutrophi- cation in Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the USA, are provided.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the effective transport of active N and P from land to the shelf through very large rivers is reduced to 292 · 109 moles y-1 of N and 13 · 109moles y -1 of P.

TL;DR: In this paper, the onset of estuarine plumes is numerically studied using a three-dimensional, primitive-equation model, where a narrow estuary is connected to an otherwise enclosed ocean basin.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive study of the strongly wind driven midlatitude buoyant plume from the Columbia River, located on the U.S. west coast, demonstrates that the plume has two basic structures during the fall/winter season, namely, a thin (∼5-15 m), strongly stratified plume tending west to northwestward during periods of southward or light northward wind stress and a much thicker ( ∼10-40 m), weakly stratified, strong-strategized plume tended northward and hugging the coast during periods

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) to develop a new three-dimensional hydrodynamic model for the Chesapeake Bay estuary.
