Domain-specific¶
- Estuarine Circulation
- salt-wedge estuaries (dominant freshwater discharge, sharp halocline, minimal mixing) at one extreme; well-mixed estuaries (dominant tidal energy, no persistent stratification) at the other; partially mixed estuaries — the most common type
This sourceDyer's salinity-structure classification of estuaries into salt-wedge, partially-mixed and well-mixed types.

“Classification on Salinity Structure. Salt wedge [type] Fjord [type]. : [Partially] mixed estuary Vertically homogenous”
- salt-wedge estuaries (dominant freshwater discharge, sharp halocline, minimal mixing) at one extreme; well-mixed estuaries (dominant tidal energy, no persistent stratification) at the other; partially mixed estuaries — the most common type
- Salt Wedge
- In river-dominated, weakly tidal estuaries (Mississippi, Po, Rio de la Plata mouths), the density contrast is sharp and the interface nearly horizontal over tens of kilometers; in tidally energetic estuaries (Chesapeake Bay, San Francisco Bay), tidal shear erodes the sharp interface into a more diffuse stratification, producing partially mixed or well-mixed conditions
This sourceThe standard treatment of the estuarine stratification spectrum, with separate chapters for highly stratified and for partially mixed and well-mixed regimes and the tidal mixing that carries a system between them; the particular estuaries named in the sentence are illustrative rather than drawn from this source.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 2 of 2 citations: 2 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.
