Short summary
Combining field observations with an analytical tidal scenario, we estimated in the Guadalquivir estuary its Total Exchange Flow (TEF), which has implications for water quality and residence times. The influence of tidal asymmetry on TEF is also explored. Results reveal a spatial variability in TEF and that salinity–current covariance exerts greater control on TEF than tidal asymmetry. The approach is suitable for regional studies evaluating sensitivity to changes in runoff, salinity and tides.
