Flushing of Australian estuaries, coastal lakes and embayments: an overview with biogeochemical commentary examines the Sf/So salinity ratio across Australian coastal environments. The dataset likely contains quantitative parameters for classifying five major coastal environment types based on rainfall, runoff, and evaporation. It was sourced from the Australian Ocean Data Network and last updated in 2026.
Use Cases
- Classifying coastal environment types based on the Sf/So salinity ratio described in the overview
- Estimating freshwater residence time as a proxy for dissolved anthropogenic input using the described mass balance equation
- Analyzing geographic and temporal variation in climate forcing factors on coastal flushing
Strengths
- Analysis covers five distinct coastal environment types across Australia
- Includes a quantitative parameter (Sf/So salinity ratio) for classification
