(From Hearn and Sidhu, 2003) When and how does the system switch? Depends on density contrast

Inverse Estuary Classical Estuary Looking into the lagoon Red = outflow Blue = inflow Guaymas Bay OUT IN

Mean Flow at Transect 4 red is inflow; blue is outflow (looking seaward) Neap Tides Interface slope, spring tides ~ 2.5e-03 (25 m in 10 km) Interface slope, neap tides ~ 2.0e-03 (18 m in 9 km) Distance from Transect Origin (km) Wet Season: Classical Dry Season: Inverse Importance: Water and Soil(?) Quality Climate Variability OUT IN

The Global Heat and Salt Conveyor Belt (From Broecker,1990; in Pinet, 1998)

Relative influence of salinity and temperature on density gradients Salinity influence Temperature influence Net influence Q In reality:

Salinity influence Temperature influence Net influence Q T mode S mode Multiple states --- Stommel Transitions

Response dominated by salinity Response dominated by temperature

(Indicates Evaporation) (From Hearn and Sidhu, 2003)

(Indicates Evaporation) (From Hearn and Sidhu, 2003)

(Indicates Evaporation) L = 15 km L = 0.85*15 km (From Hearn and Sidhu, 2003)

Shortening basin may prevent it from becoming INVERSE (From Hearn and Sidhu, 2003)

Tobari’s causeway

Do Yaqui Valley lagoons/estuaries show ‘Stommel Transitions’? Implications for water and soil quality… Does causeway prevent INVERSE conditions? What is the time scale of the Transitions? Natural laboratory to examine climate variations Are the systems in the Yaqui Valley more VULNERABLE to drought?
