Mixing and flushing time scales in the Azhikode Estuary, southwest coast of India
Abstract
Flushing time scales of the Azhikode Estuary, Kerala, India showed pronounced dry season and wet season signals as well as large inter-annual variation. Cumulative flushing time of the estuary varies from 4.8 tide cycles in April to 1.22 tide cycles in August. Longitudinal eddy diffusion which is a measure of pollution dispersion lies between 2 x 10 sup(6) cm sup(2) s sup(-1) in January and 42 x 10 sup(6) cm sup(2) s sup(-1) in August.
