On the use of the Stokes number to explain frictional tidal dynamics and water column structure in shelf seas
In recent years coastal oceanographers have suggested using the "Strouhal" number or its inverse, the "Stokes" number, to describe the effect of bottom boundary layer turbulence on the vertical structure of both density and currents. These are defined as the ratios of the frictio...
