Estuarine Circulation is a hydrodynamic process characterized by the gravitational circulation and density-driven flow structure in estuaries, where freshwater from rivers moves seaward over a deeper, landward-flowing layer of denser seawater, driven primarily by the longitudinal salinity gradient and modulated by tidal mixing, bathymetry, and Earth's rotation.
