Fraction of New Water Entering Bay from Sea each Tidal Cycle given Residence Time Formula Elements

Variables
Fraction of New Water entering the Bay
Fraction of New Water entering the Bay is the continuous ratio of freshwater influx to total water volume.
Symbol: ε
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Average Volume of Bay over Tidal Cycle
Average Volume of Bay over Tidal Cycle depends on residence time, fraction of new water entering the bay, tidal prism filling the bay and tidal period.
Symbol: V
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/hr
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Tidal Duration
Tidal duration is an efficient way of guesstimating how much water there is, at any given time of day, over a particular point.
Symbol: T
Measurement: TimeUnit: Year
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Tidal Prism Filling Bay
Tidal Prism Filling Bay is the volume of water in an estuary or inlet between mean high tide and mean low tide, or the volume of water leaving an estuary at ebb tide.
Symbol: P
Measurement: VolumeUnit:
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Residence Time
Residence Time is defined as the average time for a particle to enter, then leave the basin, with this average based on many particles.
Symbol: Tr
Measurement: TimeUnit: Year
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
