Turbulence and mixing along a microtidal and stratified estuary-shelf transition

Abstract. This study investigates the hydrodynamic and mixing processes at the estuary–shelf transition of a microtidal system, and the buoyant plume generated at the Patos Lagoon mouth (Brazil). Using measurements of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) dissipation (ϵ), current veloci...
