The two-way exchange of water and properties such as heat and salinity as well as other suspended material between estuaries and the coastal ocean is important to regulating these marine habitats. This exchange can be challenging to measure. The Total Exchange Flow (TEF) method provides a way to organize the complexity of this exchange into distinct layers based on a given water property. This method has primarily been applied in numerical models that provide high resolution output in space and time. The goal here is to identify the minimum horizontal and vertical sampling resolutions needed to measure TEF depending on estuary type. Results from three realistic hydrodynamic models were investigated. These models included three estuary types: bay (San Diego Bay: data/SDB_*.mat files), salt-wedge (Columbia River: data/CR_*.mat files), and fjord (Salish Sea: data/SJF_*.mat files). The models were sampled using three different mooring strategies, varying the number of mooring locations and sample depths with each method. This repository includes the Matlab code for repeating these sampling methods and TEF calculations using the data from the three estuary models listed above.more » « less
