Result:Tidal straining makes about 2/3 of estuarine circulation.
With full-scale 1Dmodel (GOTM, www.gotm.net):Gravitational circulation and tidal straining profilescan be decomposed.

MacCready & Geyer (2010)
Lateral circulation in tidal estuaries
Flood currents are faster in the deep channel such that salinity becomes higher in the channel centre than at the sides. This lateral density gradient then causes lateral circulation. Ebb is
vice versa.

MacCready & Geyer (2010)
Estuarine circulation due to lateral circulation
During flood high (positive) surface momentum is vertically transported to the near bed region. During ebb, relatively high
(negative, but less negative than in channel centre) is transported from the sides to the central near-bed region. This
both supports estuarine circulation.
