Hydrodynamics of Intermittently Closing and Opening Lakes and Lagoons

间歇性关闭和开放湖泊和泻湖的水动力学。间歇性关闭和开放的湖泊和泻湖是断断续续与海洋相连的浅海水体。新南威尔士州135个河口中有60个被认为是ICOLL入海口。湖/泻湖入海口的关闭阻止了水的交换，这可能会导致水质变差。利用现代仪器对两个ICOLL(Coila Lake和Wamberal Lagoon)进行了详细的现场和数值模式研究。人们认识到，必须从根本上了解ICOLL的循环和混合特征，以便为这些系统制定适当的管理战略。

Hydrodynamics of Intermittently Closing and Opening Lakes and Lagoons. Intermittently closing and open lakes and lagoons are shallow coastal water bodies that are connected intermittently to the ocean. Sixty of the 135 estuaries in New South Wales are considered to be ICOLL's. The closure of the Lake/Lagoon entrance to the ocean prevents water exchange that can lead to poor water quality. Detailed field and numerical model studies in two ICOLLS (Coila Lake and Wamberal Lagoon) are proposed using modern instrumentation. It is recognised that a fundamental understanding of the circulation and mixing characteristics of ICOLLs is imperative for the development of proper management strategies for these systems.
