Abstract
SynopsisSalinity distribution in the Tay estuary measured during the years 1969–70 is influenced by freshwater flow and tidal range. Between Pool and Flisk, tidal-depth-mean salinity is a strong function of river flow but is much less influenced by tidal range. The relationship between salinity range (difference between maximum and minimum depth-mean salinities) and tidal range can be approximated by a linear function. The observed vertical salinity distribution varies with tidal state. The net non-tidal circulation has been estimated at Pool, Broughty Ferry, Newport, Balmerino and Flisk, and found to be dependent on river flow and position.
