"On structure, entrainment, and transport in estuarine embayments" by John P. Tully
 

Abstract

When fresh water enters the surface of an embayment it moves persistently seaward. Enroute it entrains seawater from below to form a halocline, in which the salinity increases with depth and to seaward. Wind mixing creates a nearly homogeneous zone in the upper part of the halocline. Below the halocline there is a nearly homogeneous lower zone in which sea water intrudes at a rate sufficient to supply the demand for entrainment....
