چکیده

Spatial measurements of conductivity, temperature and depth were used to study salinity variations along the principal channels of the tidal hypersaline creek network in the vicinity of Bushehr Port, Persian Gulf during three ۲۵- tidal cycles in both warm and cold months. Salinity variations and tidal fluctuations were out of phase throughout the short inverse estuary. The salinity values inside the creek were higher during the warm month (August ۲۰۱۴) than the corresponding values during the cold month (December ۲۰۱۴) due to the change in evaporation rates. The salinity values, also, were linearly increased longitudinally from the inlet to the head especially during warm season. Observed evaporation rates in August and December periods and the corresponding salinity differences between hypersaline water of the creek and the incoming seawater were used to determine the Residence Time (RT). The longitudinal variation of RT showed almost linear increase from the inlet to the head. The maximum temporal distribution of RT represented an increase from ~۱۰ days in winter to ~۳۰ days in summer due to the change in the longitudinal salinity gradient.

اطلاعات بیشتر در مورد COI

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.

کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
