The Influence of Estuary Type on Estuarine Turbidity Maximum
TurbidityUnderstanding the Estuarine Turbidity Maximum Estuaries, the transitional zones where freshwater from rivers meets the saline waters of the ocean, are dynamic and complex ecosystems. One of the key features of estuaries is the estuarine turbidity maximum (ETM), a region where suspended sediment concentrations are significantly elevated compared to surrounding waters. The characteristics of the
