Analytic solutions for along‐channel velocity through an estuarine cross‐section with laterally varying depth are compared to observations from an array of current meters deployed over a nearly triangular cross‐section of the James River estuary. Analytic results suggest that the transverse structure of along‐channel velocity at this cross‐section is primarily due to simple density‐driven circulation modified by bathymetry. Comparisons of analytic solutions for the amplitude and phase of tidal velocity to observations suggest that linear models which include realistic lateral depth variation should also incorporate across‐channel variation in eddy viscosity. Solutions for various contributions to mean velocity are then derived which …
