Impact of exchange flows on wetland flushing

The flushing of littoral regions is governed by barotropic river flows, QR, and baroclinic exchange flows, ΔQ. This note presents field observations of two different flushing regimes in a shallow wetland that borders a lake. In spring, when river flows are high, the wetland circulation is river- or...
