Description:The transport and dispersion of waterborne tracers (e.g. pollutants, larvae, salt) are often of primary interest in shallow bays and estuaries. These processes often depend most importantly on the low-frequency and mean currents even when the instantaneous flow is dominated by tidal currents. The focus of this paper, therefore, is to describe and explain the mean and low-frequency current response in a typical tidally-​dominated coastal embayment with a contamination problem: Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts.
