摘要: Abstract A prognostic, time‐dependent box model of circulation in Puget Sound, Washington is used to study seasonal and interannual variations residence times interbasin transports. The capable reproducing salinity variability the Sound at timescales, shown have hindcast skill timescales. Modelled transports vary as much between years seasons. largest feature a sharp transport drop late autumn into deep Main Basin which be caused by increased river flow Whidbey Basin. high degree leads large differences times; for instance, time varies from 33 44 days period 1992 2001 southern Hood Canal it 64 121 days. This indicates that estimates based on year or less data may not yield representative values. forcing sensitivity shows i...
