Longitudinal and lateral circulation and tidal impacts in salt-plug estuaries

Longitudinal and lateral circulation and tidal impacts in salt-plug estuaries

This study presents a comparison of forcings between density gradient and tides in idealized funnel-shaped salt-plug estuaries. Three-dimensional numerical model results also examine longitudinal and lateral circulations. In salt-plug estuaries, a positive longitudinal estuarine circulation is obser...
