Improving the parameterisation of horizontal density gradient in one-dimensional water column models for estuarine circulation

A new parameterisation of horizontal density gradient for a one-dimensional water column estuarine model, inspired by the first-order finite-difference upwind scheme, is presented. This parameterisation prevents stratification from growing indefinitely, a deficiency usually referred to as "...
