Résumé
Contrary to what you might have heard elsewhere, depth and width do matter. But this main message refers to width and depth in semienclosed bodies of water. The presentation will explain how this happens on the basis of tidal flow properties and residual flow distributions. A combination of different tools is used to support the main message. Depending on the width and depth of estuaries, the distribution and transport of dissolved and suspended matter will be vertically segregated or laterally segregated. The implications of these results are that the measurement of dissolved or suspended materials at one point of an estuarine cross-section will provide incomplete information.
