Abstract
Vertical salinity profiles in the Hudson Estuary are extremely variable, and often contain finestructure similar to that in oceanic stratification. This finestructure may be caused by the stability-dependent vertical diffusion of salt. The interpretation of T-S diagrams indicates that, to a first order, temperature and salinity are controlled by conservative mixing processes, and that residence time in the Estuary is approximately one or two weeks.
