Transient groundwater dynamics in a coastal aquifer: The effects of tides, the lunar cycle, and the beach profile

Detailed field measurements are combined with a numerical modeling to characterize the groundwater dynamics beneath the discharge zone at Waquoit Bay, Massachusetts. Groundwater salinity values revealed a saline circulation cell that overlaid the discharging freshwater and grew and disappeared with...
