Preferred term

partially-mixed estuaries (en)  

Definition

  • Information As tidal forcing increases, river output becomes less than the marine input. In partially-mixed estuaries, current induced turbulence causes mixing of the whole water column such that salinity varies more longitudinally rather than vertically, leading to a moderately stratified condition.
