An enormous Pliocene or Quaternary Megalake Sudd on the River Nile in the Sudan Basin? A review of the dilemma, and a possible solution
Walter Álvarez
TL;DR: Megalake Sudd was a large post-Miocene lake in the Sudan Basin. Geological evidence supports its existence, but topography argues against it. Recent geological evidence supports the former existence of Megalake Sudd.
Exchange through the Bab el Mandab
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of wind stress, friction, and seasonal sea-level variability on hydraulic control in the Bab el Mandab have been investigated, highlighting the importance of tidal scale variability and differences between real continuously stratified fluids and idealised layer flows often used in hydraulic theory.
Zonal surface wind jets across the Red Sea due to mountain gap forcing along both sides of the Red Sea
TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify two types of coastal mountain gap wind jets that frequently blow across the longitudinal axis of the Red Sea: (1) an eastward-blowing summer daily wind jet originating from the Tokar Gap on the Sudanese Red Sea coast, and (2) wintertime westwardblowing wind-jet bands along the northwestern Saudi Arabian coast, which occur every 10−20 days and can last for several days when occurring.
Hydraulic control of three-layer exchange flows: application to the Bab al Mandab
TL;DR: In this article, a three-layer model of hydraulically controlled exchange flows is described, which can represent exchange flows that are controlled with respect to either the first or second (or both) internal modes.
Cenozoic epeirogeny of the Arabian Peninsula from drainage modeling
TL;DR: In this paper, a regional uplift rate history of the Arabian Peninsula was obtained by jointly inverting 225 longitudinal river profiles that drain this peninsula, assuming that shapes of individual river profiles are controlled by uplift rates history and moderated by erosional processes.
