Tracer dynamics in two-layer density stratified estuarine flow

This paper considers tidal-driven particle motion in Tampa Bay, Florida, USA under fully stratified conditions with riverine inflow. The flow field is modelled by means of the two-layer shallow-water equations solved on an adaptive quadtree grid using a second-order Roe-type finite-volume scheme. Tracer dynamics are then obtained through Lagrangian particle tracking. The results show that the effect of external forcing is concentrated primarily in the upper layer, with particles in the lower layer less mixed and exhibiting relatively longer residence time in the semi-enclosed tidal bay. Particle flushing from Old Tampa Bay into the open sea is particularly hindered by the narrow inlet, whereas particles in Hillsborough Bay experience rapid transport seaward due to the large influx of river discharge. Particle patches are typically stretched in Middle Tampa Bay and may be trapped in the shallow Lower Tampa Bay region. The study reveals interesting underlying mixing features that cannot be produced by a single-layer depth-averaged shallow-water model. </jats:p

Students at New York Life Revitalizing High School Libraries Sites Talk About Why Their Library Media Centers Rock!

Funded by the New York Life Foundation from 2003-2005, Revitalizing High School Libraries (RHSL) was a pilot program that allowed Public Education Network (PEN) and its member local education funds (LEFs) in Minneapolis, San Francisco and Tampa to update and refurbish library media centers in four high schools. The high schools are: Washburn High School and Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis; Robinson High School in Tampa; and Mission High School in San Francisco. In this issue of Adolescents Read!, we report what students at these schools are saying about the impact that RHSL is having on their experiences with reading and studying. We close with some online resources that students at the four high schools recommend
