Forcing mechanisms of salt intrusion in a low-lying river delta during a prolonged drought

Year: 2024

Type: preprint

Abstract: • On a weekly timescale the river discharge is the best predictor for salt intrusion length. • Variations of salt intrusion length on a timescale of a few days are driven by coastal setup. • Treating distributary side branches separately is crucial to incorporate the importance of downstream salinity variability.
