Energy balance and time-scales of mixing and stratification in the Jaboatão estuary, NE-Brazil

Estuarine systems undergo different physical processes that simultaneously control their stratification and mixing dynamics. This energy balance determines both, the estuarine hydrodynamics and the dynamics of water. This article presents a quantitative and comparative analyses between the forces ma...
