DESCRIPTION:Please join us as we welcome Dr. Nancy Soontiens from the depar
 tment of Earth\, Ocean and Otmospheric Sciences at the University of Briti
 sh Columbia for her seminar titled Mixing\, Transport\, and Deep Water Ren
 ewal in a Sill-Basin Estuarine System. Refreshments will be served.\n\nAbs
 tract\n\nEstuarine circulation is characterized by an exchange of fresh su
 rface water overlying a dense undercurrent of saline water from the ocean.
  This exchange is influenced by tidal mixing\, wind forcing\, and river di
 scharge\, the details of which are determined by the properties of each es
 tuary. In the sill-basin system between the Straits of Juan de Fuca and Ge
 orgia on the west coast of Canada\, tidal mixing over complicated bathymet
 ry plays an important role in the overall circulation and transport\, and 
 ultimately influences the renewal of dense\, saline waters into the Strait
  of Georgia basin during summer months. This mixing is often difficult to 
 accurately diagnose in numerical ocean models\, especially in operational 
 settings where demands on computational resources are high. In this talk\,
  I will discuss the use of a baroclinic model of the Salish Sea\, which in
 cludes the Strait of Juan de Fuca\, the Strait of Georgia\, Puget Sound an
 d Johnstone Strait\, to study transport and deep water renewal in this sys
 tem. I will discuss the role of advective and mixing processes on the fres
 hwater transport and will outline model sensitivities to several mixing pa
 rameterizations. Finally\, I will discuss a numerical instability that str
 ongly impacts the estuarine exchange in this system.\n
