Capt. Marcus Thorne Iquique’s Upwelling Anomalies vs. Standard Pacific Coastal Flow: An ADCP Configuration Study The Humboldt Influence: Iquique vs. Stable Coastal Baselines Measuring currents at the Port of Iquique isn't a routine survey. Most coastal ports deal with predictable tidal oscillations, but Iquique ... ADCP Hydrography Jan 7, 2025
Capt. Marcus Thorne ADCP Deployment at Brindisi: A Quick Technical Brief Measuring Currents at Brindisi: What Engineers Need to Know Brindisi is a hydrodynamic mess. The collision of Adriatic and Ionian waters at the Salento Peninsula creates volatile cyclonic gyres and ve... ADCP Hydrography Jan 7, 2025
Sarah Jenkins Characterizing Residual Current Vectors and Acoustic Backscatter in the Gandía Port Approach Channel Residual Current Dynamics and Mediterranean Inflow at the Gandía Coastline The coastal waters off Gandía exhibit a complex interplay between the Northern Current (the Mediterranean's primary transport...

Elena Rodriguez Field Deployment Report: Bottom-Mounted ADCP Profiling in Tokyo Port Deployment Notes: Tokyo Bay, October 2023 The humidity was oppressive as we prepped the gear on the quay, the air thick with the smell of diesel and salt. We hit the water just as the morning fog bega... ADCP Hydrography Jan 7, 2025
Capt. Marcus Thorne ADCP Deployment at Valencia Port: A Quick Technical Brief Measuring Currents at Valencia Port: What Engineers Need to Know Valencia Port faces a complex hydrodynamic environment where Mediterranean surface currents collide with heavy vessel traffic and varia...

Capt. Marcus Thorne Hydrographic Study of the Wouri Estuary and Douala Port Current Dynamics The Estuarine Complexity of the Wouri River Delta: A Geographic anomaly Douala Port sits at a volatile intersection of geography. Located roughly at 4°02′N 9°42′E, the port is carved into the Wouri Ri... ADCP Hydrography Jan 7, 2025
Dr. Alistair Vance Fighting the Salt Wedge: The Chaos of Mapinhane's Subsurface Shear The Mapinhane Trap Most surveyors treat estuaries like a simple conveyor belt—water goes in, water goes out. Mapinhane is not a conveyor belt; it is a hydrodynamic blender. If you’ve never worked the ... ADCP Hydrography Jan 6, 2025
Dr. Kenji Sato Taming the Agulhas Chaos: The Vertical Shear Nightmare at KwaDukuza The Agulhas Jet and the Narrow Shelf Trap KwaDukuza isn't just another stretch of the KwaZulu-Natal coast. At roughly 29.5° S, we are dealing with a geographical bottleneck. The continental shelf here... ADCP Hydrography Jan 6, 2025
Sarah Jenkins Rorvik’s Bathymetric Chaos: Why the Norwegian Coastal Current Defies Linear Modeling The Friction Point at 63.8°N If you’ve spent any time staring at the charts around Rorvik, you know the geography is a disaster for standard hydrographic assumptions. We aren't dealing with a clean, o... ADCP Hydrography Jan 6, 2025
Dr. Alistair Vance Decoding the Subsurface Chaos of the Richard's Bay Main Channel The Liar on the Surface If you’ve spent any time in the KwaZulu-Natal coast, you know the Agulhas Current is the real boss of the region. But inside the Richard's Bay harbor, the physics get weird. We... ADCP Hydrography Jan 6, 2025
Sarah Jenkins Taming the Maloy Surge: Why Standard Models Fail the Coastal Sector The Chaos of the Maloy Coastal Sector I hit the water at 04:30 in August 2023, hoping to beat the peak flood tide. The air was thick with that heavy, pre-monsoon humidity that makes your gear stick to... ADCP Hydrography Jan 6, 2025
Dr. Kenji Sato Evaluating Acoustic Backscatter and Velocity Profiles Amidst Extreme Tidal Ranges in the Bay of Fundy The Tidal Oscillations of the Saint John River Estuary The Bay of Fundy exhibits a semi-diurnal tidal range that can exceed 16 meters, creating a hydrodynamic environment that is frankly chaotic for s...
