Inflow from the Mediterranean has a higher salinity and density than the outflow, creating the classical estuarine circulation.
2.
Estuarine circulation from Barkley Sound is influenced by the shelf dynamics of an eastern boundary current, creating a complex physical environment.
3.
The freshwater inflow generates an estuarine circulation in the main channel, with low-salinity water moving outwards at the surface, and higher-salinity water flowing inwards below.
