Report is focused on some of the goals of the Workshop on Transport Processes in Estuaries, held at the Marine Sciences Research Center, State University of New York, Nov. 10-14, 1976. Bibliography: p. 19.

Preface: origin and purposes of the workshop on transport processes in estuaries -- Abstract -- Why should transport processes in estuaries be studied? -- Modeling and simulation of transport processes -- What is a model -- How are models made? -- Scales of averaging and observation and their effects on prediction -- Analytic and numerical models -- the equations -- The boundary conditions -- Verification and testing -- The areas to be addressed -- Field experiments -- Small-scale experiments -- Large-scale experiments -- Some comments and caveats -- A sketch of the shape, size, and cost of the field experiment -- The nonadvective flux experiments -- The estuarine model experiments -- The means -- Instrument requirements -- Schedules, salaries, and ship time -- Other costs -- Conclusion -- Bibliography -- Appendix A: Organizations supporting the workshop on transport processes in estuaries -- Participants in the workshop on transport processes in estuaries.
