Abstract: To evaluate whether the system remained at steady state, or in another word, if the temporal variability in freshwater discharge and concentration could account as significant to influence the shape of the conservative mixing curve, we constructed a one-dimensional advection–dispersion model following the analytical framework of Loder & Reichard, (1981). For model setup, we assumed the estuary to be well-mixed vertically and horizontally, allowing simplification to a one-dimensional domain governed by the steady advection–dispersion equation. The model code provided can be readily modified to simulate alternative variability scenarios.
