Coastal discharge extremes and their environmental impact on the Sea of Marmara
Başdurak, Nüvit Berkay (2024-01-01)
Increases in evaporation driven by global warming change the hydrological cycle by fueling extreme precipitation and exacerbating the frequency and intensity of extreme floods. Combined with the increase in terrestrial was...
A local eddy viscosity parameterization for wind-driven estuarine exchange flow, Part II: Entrainment
Başdurak, Nüvit Berkay; Burchard, Hans; Schuttelaars, Henk M. (2023-12-01)
Structure and intensity of estuarine exchange flow depend significantly on the eddy viscosity Av profile which is dynamically linked to various forces (e.g., gravitational, tidal, wind-driven). The impact of winds on the e...
Climate change impacts on river discharge to the Sea of Marmara
Başdurak, Nüvit Berkay (2023-01-01)
The Sea of Marmara, located in Northwestern Türkiye, is under multiple stressors, including climate change and industrial, agricultural, and domestic pollution, that cause deoxygenation in coastal waters, with multiregiona...
DOĞU AKDENİZ'DE DOLAŞIM DESENLERİ VE SU KÜTLESİ OLUŞUMUNDA DEĞİŞKENLİK
Başdurak, Nüvit Berkay; Fach Salihoğlu, Bettina Andrea; Salihoğlu, Barış; Örek, Hasan; Özhan, Koray; MANTIKCI, MUSTAFA; MANTIKCI, MUSTAFA (2022-12-09)
Wind Effects on Small-Scale River and Creek Plumes
Başdurak, Nüvit Berkay; Largier, J.L. (2022-12-01)
In contrast to large river plumes, Coriolis effects are weak, and inertia is quickly depleted so that the fate and structure of small-scale plumes are more sensitive to tide and wind. Advected alongshore by reversing tidal...
Modeling the Dynamics of Small-Scale River and Creek Plumes in Tidal Waters
Başdurak, Nüvit Berkay; Nidzieko, N. J. (2020-07-01)
The fate of discharges from small rivers and mountainous streams are little studied relative to the dynamics of large river plumes. Flows from small watersheds are episodic, forming transient low-salinity surface plumes th...
Parameterization of mixing by secondary circulation in estuaries
Başdurak, Nüvit Berkay; Valle-Levinson, A.; Li, M.; Chant, R. J. (2017-07-01)
Eddy viscosity parameterizations that depend on a gradient Richardson number R-i have been most pertinent to the open ocean. Parameterizations applicable to stratified coastal regions typically require implementation of a ...
Salinity inversions in the thermocline under upwelling favorable winds
Burchard, Hans; Başdurak, Nüvit Berkay; Graewe, Ulf; Knoll, Michaela; Mohrholz, Volker; Mueller, Selina (2017-02-01)
This paper discusses and explains the phenomenon of salinity inversions in the thermocline offshore from an upwelling region during upwelling favorable winds. Using the nontidal central Baltic Sea as an easily accessible n...
Lateral structure of tidal asymmetry in vertical mixing and its impact on exchange flow in a coastal plain estuary
Başdurak, Nüvit Berkay; Cheng, Peng (2013-08-01)
Residual currents induced by asymmetries in tidal mixing (ATM) were determined using a series of underway-current velocity profiles and salinity measurements, estimates of vertical mixing, and an analytical expression. Six...
Tidal variability of lateral advection in a coastal plain estuary
Başdurak, Nüvit Berkay (2013-07-01)
Tidal variability of lateral advection of momentum (vu(y), where u and v are along-estuary and lateral flows, respectively, and the subindex indicates differentiation with respect to the cross-estuary direction) was invest...
