< 19 Salinity Variations with Tide Calculators

Salinity at Moment of Slack Water

Go Salinity at the Moment of Slack Water = Salinity of Water*exp(-(18*10^-6)*Fresh Water River Flow*Coordinate along the Channel^2-(0.045*Fresh Water River Flow^0.5))

Apparent Dispersion Coefficient which includes all Mixing Effects

Go Apparent Dispersion Coefficient = (Diffusion Coefficient at x=0*Distance outside the Estuary)/(Coordinate along the Channel+Distance outside the Estuary)

Coordinate along Channel given Apparent Dispersion Coefficient

Go Coordinate along the Channel = (Diffusion Coefficient at x=0*Distance outside the Estuary/Apparent Dispersion Coefficient)-Distance outside the Estuary

Diffusion Coefficient

Go Diffusion Coefficient at x=0 = Apparent Dispersion Coefficient*(Coordinate along the Channel+Distance outside the Estuary)/Distance outside the Estuary

Q_r = (M*P)/T

What Causes Stratification?

Stratification occurs as a result of a density differential between two water layers and can arise as a result of the differences in salinity, temperature, or a combination of both. Stratification is more likely when the mixing forces of wind and wave action are minimal and this occurs more often in the summer months.
