Fig. 1: Physical parameters in the three estuary types.
From: High carbon dioxide emissions from Australian estuaries driven by geomorphology and climate
Median (red line), mean (red asterisk), 1st and 3rd interquartile ranges (box caps), minimum, and maximum values (whiskers) of (A) water depth, (B) current velocity, (C) wind speed, (D) mean gas transfer velocity normalised to Schmidt no. 600 (k600) calculated from the five parameterisations (Table 2), (E) tidal range, and (F) temperature in the lagoons (blue, n: A = 92, B = 101, C = 88, D and F = 3789, and E = 21), small deltas (green, n: A = 75, B = 67, C = 79, D = 3362, E = 12, and F = 3622), and tidal systems (yellow, n: A = 121, B = 112, C = 126, D = 5207, E = 14, and F = 5720). Outliers were omitted from the graphs. Letters above figures denote statistical differences among estuary types, with letters that are the same indicating no significant difference (PERMANOVA, two-tailed, and at 95% confidence interval).
