| Abstract: | Analysis of current and salinity time series from early 1982 over the inner shelf near the Texas-Louisiana border indicates a rapid freshening of the coastal current waters in response to the discharge of the Mississippi River. Coherence between records is surprisingly poor, although cross-shelf advection of the salinity front by tidal advection appears to be an important local process. |
