The three Estuary Box Models (EBMs) used in the study

Caption

Knudsen relations model (top panel A), UCONN-NCAR EBM (middle panel B) and CMCC EBM (bottom panel C). The volume fluxes entering or exiting the box along with their salinities and densities are represented by arrows. Black arrows stand for input values from the ocean and river models, red arrows for the unknowns solved by the EBM. The pairs of blue arrows represent the tidal mixing, pairs of upward light-blue arrows stand for the shear mixing at the layer interface.
