Tidally averaged transport of salt in estuaries is controlled by various subtidal and tidal
processes. In this study, we show the relative importance of various subtidal and tidal …

Freshwater pulses (during which river discharge is much higher than average) occur in
many estuaries and strongly impact estuarine functioning. To gain insight into the estuarine …

The salinity structure in estuaries is classically described in terms of the salinity structure as
well mixed, partially mixed, or salt wedge. The existing knowledge about the processes that …

Estuarine circulation attributes such as stratification and flushing time significantly influence
estuarine ecological processes. Stratification reflects how much vertical mixing occurs in an …

This paper documents a modeling investigation to comprehend the effect of future sea-level
rise (SLR) on estuarine salinity and transport time scales, including the residence time and …

The aim of this work is to develop a new estuarine classification attending to their vertical
structure by examining the advantages and disadvantages of the existing classifications. For …

The asymmetric Holmboe instabilities that form on an arrested salt wedge are investigated in
the laboratory. The flow is characterized by three regions. Near the tip of the salt wedge …

This study is guided by other classifications of estuaries that are based on specified physical
constraints. Previous classifications have been relevant and revealing of diagnostic …

Water renewal and flushing in small, intermittently open or closed estuaries is receiving
increasing attention particularly in light of the climate change induced alterations in run-off …

To understand mechanisms of salt intrusion in estuaries, we develop a semi‐analytical
model, that explicitly accounts for salt transport by both exchange flow and tidal flow. This …
