Dec 19, 2025 · Rivers, estuaries, and deltas are key to understanding the chemical structure of seawater, and are home to some of the world's most diverse ecosystems.

Sep 16, 2019 · How does an estuary work? From a physicist’s point of view, the density difference between fresh and salt water makes estuaries interesting. When river water meets sea water, the …

In the absence of rotational effects, stratification in the estuary decreases following both down-estuary and up-estuary winds, but stratification experiences larger reduction and takes longer to recover …

Many studies have used the unique geochemical signal originating from the subterranean estuary to determine rates of transport of such cons- tituents to the coastal ocean via submarine groundwater …

A tidally and cross-sectionally averaged model based on the temporal evolution of the quasi-steady Hansen and Rattray equations is applied to simulate the salinity distribution and vertical exchange …

The salinity distribution in Figure 2 shows that there is a well-defined subterranean estuary beneath the head of the Bay. This subterranean estuary has a narrow seepage face where zero salinity …

1. Introduction [2] Estuarine conditions depend on fluvial, tidal, and baroclinic forcing. The river supplies a mean volume flux and a source of buoyancy, tidal oscillations generate currents and a source of …

The ladderane fatty acid pro le shows three regions of high con-fi centration within the subterranean estuary at depths that correspond to the URTZ, MRTZ, and DRTZ, in addition to high concentration …
