Figure 8

Temporal series of water salinity plots for up to 20 sampling stations (X axis top) at increasing distance from the Indian Ocean (0 on lower X axis) to 50 km upstream (right of figure). For reference to Fig. 1b, NAR is the Narrows Bridge. Fresh water (< 5 ppt) is represented as brown colors while marine water (> 25 ppt) is blue or green. Note that the surface water (up to 5 m depth) is predominantly fresh through the system from 3rd Aug. through 29th Sept. 2009.
