... across the mouth of the estuary by upstream progradation. Flood-tide currents move across this sill at velocities of as much as 90 cm/sec 15 cm above the bottom, but the velocity of ebb-tide currents usually does not exceed about 40 cm/sec. Dispersal patterns of dyed sediment injected at the river mouth...

... fine-grained sediment. Potential sources of sediment to this area include Pleistocene mud deposits on the continental shelf, fine sediment moving from north to south with the longshore drift, and Delaware Bay mud escaping the estuary on ebb tides. To determine the origin of the modern coastal muds...

...G. S. Visher; J. D. Howard Abstract Flood- and ebb-tide cycles produce differing bedforms, sedimentary structures, thicknesses of sedimentary units, and most important, grain-size distributions. Differences are the result of changes in bed shear, flow regime, and mechanisms of sediment transport...

... progressing from shoreface parasequences in the south, to mixed-influence deltas, to south-prograding ebb-tide-dominated deltas, to flood-tidal bars in the far north. The tide-dominated delta and flood-tidal bars have broadly similar parasequences: Basal facies are bioturbated mudstone to muddy sandstone...

... the limit of surf encroachment and in the highest swash-mark area, a berm forms, which displays an onlap-ofilap series of laminae; also, portions of it are cross-laminated. This berm and its internal structure are a result of sedimentation during the flood- to ebb-tide period. © 1965 American Association...

... of stratigraphic units preserving pronounced tidal influence only when the seaway had a deep center (∼400 m) and southern entrance (>100 m). Maximum tidal velocity vectors under these conditions suggest a dominant southeasterly ebb tide within the Utah Bight, consistent with the location and orientation...

...G. E. WILLIAMS Abstract Sedimentary rhythmites of siltstone and fine sandstone from late Precambrian (c. 650–800 Ma) glaciogenic formations in South Australia are interpreted as distal ebb-tidal deposits that record variability in the velocity and range of palaeo-ebb tides. Variations in lamina...

... rich parallel-laminated silt and sandy silt. This suite of sedimentary features and textures indicates changing current velocities and directions as bars emerge or are modified during ebb tide, and the vertical sequences could potentially be used to record intertidal bar erosion and aggradation...

... flares like a horizontal jet, which ideally flares at 20 degrees . Whether single or branched, the issuing current is a tidal jet. Thus, at the ends of the inlet both the flood and ebb tides are drains on the high side and jets on the low side of the barrier, in both cases being there local maxima...

... flares like a horizontal jet, which ideally flares at 12°. Whether single or branched, the issuing current is a tidal jet . Thus, at the ends of the inlet, both the flood and ebb tides are drains on the high side and jets on the low side of the barrier, in both cases being there local maxima of hydraulic...

... under the breaker zone. There is a slight diffusion of fine grains seaward of the step to the shoaling wave zone. Sediment moved landward with the advance of the breaker zone is concentrated at the step. Ebb tide sedimentation is similar, but two slight differences can be discerned. The fine sediment...

... in Cadiz Bay, where a portion of Atlantic suspended matter, driven by flood tide, comes into the inner bay and is deposited in the shallow waters of lagoons and salt marshes. Subsequently, because of the southeast wind and waves, these sediments are remobilized and transported to the west by the ebb tide...
