Theoretical Assessment of the Effect of Vertical Dispersivity on Coastal Seawater Radium Distribution
Trends in radium (Ra) activity in coastal seawater are frequently used to infer submarine groundwater discharge. In general, unlike in the deep oceans, Ra samples are only collected from the surface of the mixed layer in coastal areas. The assumption is that the water column is well mixed, as often...
