Fjord Circulation

Fjord Circulation is a hydrodynamic process characterized by the net movement and vertical exchange of water masses in a fjord estuary, driven by freshwater discharge and density gradients, which establishes a two-layer flow regime distinct from other estuarine circulation types due to its strong stratification and limited tidal mixing in high-latitude coastal environments.
