Domain-specific¶
- Estuarine Circulation
- The stratification regime is set by the ratio of river buoyancy flux to tidal stirring energy, which the Hansen–Rattray (1966) classification captures by plotting the mixing parameter against the circulation parameter
This sourceThe two-parameter estuarine classification whose classes are delineated by relative stratification and circulation parameters linked to the salt-balance mechanism.

“The classes are delineated by the magnitudes of the relative stratification and circulation parameters associated with changes in the salt balance mechanism.”
- The stratification regime is set by the ratio of river buoyancy flux to tidal stirring energy, which the Hansen–Rattray (1966) classification captures by plotting the mixing parameter against the circulation parameter
- Salt Wedge
- Estuarine oceanography — the home turf: two-layer hydraulic theory, the internal Froude number, and the Knudsen salt balance governing whether stratification persists or erodes. Estuarine mixing-regime classification — the three-way sort (sharp salt-wedge / partially mixed / well-mixed), plotted in the Hansen-Rattray scheme on a stratification parameter against a circulation parameter
This sourceHansen and Rattray's two-parameter estuary classification, plotted on a stratification parameter against a circulation parameter, which sorts estuaries across the salt-wedge, partially mixed and well-mixed range and ties the sort to a change in the salt balance mechanism.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 2 citations: 1 supported, 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
