Salinity in a slightly stratified estuary. Top: as a function of depth and distance along the estuary, numbers indicate station locations, mixing between upper and lower layer is indicated by the faint arrows;

bottom: in vertical salinity profiles for stations 1 - 4.

Surface and bottom salinity increase from station 1 to station 4, but surface salinity is always lower than bottom salinity.
