Domain-specific¶
- 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.
