STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Fraction of New Water entering the Bay = (Average Volume of Bay over Tidal Cycle*Tidal Duration)/(Tidal Prism Filling Bay*Residence Time)
ε = (V*T)/(P*Tr)
This formula uses 5 Variables
Variables Used
Fraction of New Water entering the Bay - Fraction of New Water entering the Bay is the continuous ratio of freshwater influx to total water volume.
Average Volume of Bay over Tidal Cycle - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Hour) - Average Volume of Bay over Tidal Cycle depends on residence time, fraction of new water entering the bay, tidal prism filling the bay and tidal period.
Tidal Duration - (Measured in Year) - Tidal duration is an efficient way of guesstimating how much water there is, at any given time of day, over a particular point.
Tidal Prism Filling Bay - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Tidal Prism Filling Bay is the volume of water in an estuary or inlet between mean high tide and mean low tide, or the volume of water leaving an estuary at ebb tide.
Residence Time - (Measured in Year) - Residence Time is defined as the average time for a particle to enter, then leave the basin, with this average based on many particles.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Average Volume of Bay over Tidal Cycle: 180 Cubic Meter per Hour --> 180 Cubic Meter per Hour No Conversion Required
Tidal Duration: 2 Year --> 2 Year No Conversion Required
Tidal Prism Filling Bay: 32 Cubic Meter --> 32 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Residence Time: 16 Year --> 16 Year No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
ε = (V*T)/(P*Tr) --> (180*2)/(32*16)
Evaluating ... ...
ε = 0.703125
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.703125 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.703125 <-- Fraction of New Water entering the Bay
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Fraction of New Water Entering Bay from Sea each Tidal Cycle given Residence Time
Go Fraction of New Water entering the Bay = (Average Volume of Bay over Tidal Cycle*Tidal Duration)/(Tidal Prism Filling Bay*Residence Time)
Tidal Prism given Residence Time
Go Tidal Prism Filling Bay = (Tidal Duration*Average Volume of Bay over Tidal Cycle)/(Residence Time*Fraction of New Water entering the Bay)
Residence Time
Go Residence Time = Tidal Duration*(Average Volume of Bay over Tidal Cycle/(Fraction of New Water entering the Bay*Tidal Prism Filling Bay))
Average Volume of Bay over Tidal Cycle given Residence Time
Go Average Volume of Bay over Tidal Cycle = (Residence Time*Fraction of New Water entering the Bay*Tidal Prism Filling Bay)/Tidal Duration
Tidal Period given Residence Time
Go Tidal Duration = (Residence Time*Fraction of New Water entering the Bay*Tidal Prism Filling Bay)/Average Volume of Bay over Tidal Cycle

Fraction of New Water Entering Bay from Sea each Tidal Cycle given Residence Time Formula

Fraction of New Water entering the Bay = (Average Volume of Bay over Tidal Cycle*Tidal Duration)/(Tidal Prism Filling Bay*Residence Time)
ε = (V*T)/(P*Tr)

What is Bay Superelevation?

A Superelevation of the bay means that the average level of the bay is greater than the average elevation of the ocean over a given time period. An obvious cause of this effect is the introduction of freshwater into the bay from local rivers and streams. The effect of long-term (months or years) rise in sea level causing a long-term rise in bay level is not included in this definition of bay superelevation, since both sea and bay are responding simultaneously. The bay may not rise at the same rate as the sea due to possible circulation effects if multiple inlets connect the bay to the ocean.

What is Residence Time?

Residence time is defined as the amount of water in a reservoir divided by either the rate of addition of water to the reservoir or the rate of loss from it.
