Form drag is a major component of bed shear stress associated with tidal flow in the vicinity of an isolated sand bank, Torres Strait, northern Australia

Tidal current and elevation data were collected from five oceanographic moorings during October 2004 in Torres Strait, northern Australia, to assess the effects of large bedforms (i.e., sand banks) on the drag coefficient ( C D ) used for estimating bed shear stress in complex shallow shelf environm...

Zusammenfassung:Tidal current and elevation data were collected from five oceanographic moorings during October 2004 in Torres Strait, northern Australia, to assess the effects of large bedforms (i.e., sand banks) on the drag coefficient ( C D ) used for estimating bed shear stress in complex shallow shelf environments. Ten minute averages of tidal current speed and elevation data were collected for 18 days at an on-bank site (
