Salt mixing enables the transport of water between the inflow and outflow layers of estuarine
circulation and therefore closes the circulation by driving a diahaline exchange flow. A …

Small estuaries in Mediterranean climates display pronounced salinity variability at
seasonal and event time scales. Here, we use a hydrodynamic model of the Coos Estuary …

The relationship between the salinity mixing, the diffusive salt transport, and the diahaline
exchange flow is examined using salinity coordinates. The diahaline inflow and outflow …

Saltwater intrusion occurs frequently in the Yangtze Estuary during winter, when the river
discharges are low along with strong wind and waves. However, the influence of wind and …

Submesoscale currents (SMCs), in the forms of fronts, filaments, and vortices, are studied
using a high-resolution (~ 150 m) Regional Oceanic Modeling System (ROMS) simulation in …

Numerical mixing, the spurious mixing primarily generated by the discretization of advection,
is often significant in estuarine and coastal models due to sharp, energetic fronts. We …

Saltwater intrusion is a common feature in the Changjiang Estuary affected by river
discharges and tidal flows. It leads to a two‐layer flow structure during the flood‐to‐ebb tidal …

To improve navigation, the deep waterway project (DWP) was implemented in the North
Passage of the Changjiang Estuary in 1998, which includes a deep channel and two dikes …

A salinity variance framework is used to study mixing in the Salish Sea, a large fjordal
estuary. Output from a realistic numerical model is used to create salinity variance budgets …
