Estuarine Stratification

Estuarine Stratification is a hydrodynamic phenomenon characterized by the vertical layering of water masses in an estuary due to gradients in salinity and temperature, which results in limited mixing between the fresher, lighter surface water and the denser, more saline bottom water.
