Dijkstra, Y.M. (author), Schuttelaars, H.M. (author), Kranenburg, W.M. (author)Tidally averaged transport of salt in estuaries is controlled by various subtidal and tidal processes. In this study, we show the relative importance of various subtidal and tidal transport processes in a width-averaged sense. This is done for a large range of forcing and geometric parameters, which describe well-mixed to salt wedge estuaries...journal article 2022
