A salinity section along the axis of the Myall River channel in New South Wales, Australia. Black squares indicate where salinity was measured. Isohalines are spaced 5 units apart. Note the rapid transition from salinities < 5 to > 30 over a distance of a few km. At some distance from the mixing region salinities are uniform and close to 1 and 33 as indicated.
