Is submarine groundwater discharge predictable

摘要: [1] The contribution of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) to the total hydrological discharges sea may be large but has been difficult quantify. We have tested applicability and generality a suggested linear relationship between annual average SGD its fresh component against various simulation results field data. This is found constitute general attractor for hydrologically simulated directly measured values across wide range conditions world regions. But these consistent quantifications differ systematically largely from indirect interpretations tracers in seawater. an essential gap inland- sea-based methods estimation that needs bridged.
