Cai, H. (author), Savenije, H.H.G. (author), Jiang, C. (author), Zhao, L. (author), Yang, Q. (author)The mean water level in estuaries rises in the landward direction due to a combination of the density gradient, the tidal asymmetry, and the backwater effect. This phenomenon is more prominent under an increase of the fresh water discharge, which strongly intensifies both the tidal asymmetry and the backwater effect. However, the interactions...journal article 2016

Cai, H. (author), Savenije, H.H.G. (author), Jiang, C. (author)As the tidal wave propagates into an estuary, the tidally averaged water level tends to rise in landward direction due to the density difference between saline and fresh water and the asymmetry of the friction. The effect of friction on the residual slope is even more remarkable when accounting for fresh water discharge. In this study, we...journal article 2014
