Abstract | Hervey Bay, a large coastal embayment situated off the central eastern coast of Australia, is a shallow tidal area (average depth = 15m), close to the continental shelf. It shows features of an inverse estuary, due to the high evaporation rate (approx. 2 m/year), low precipitation (less than 1 m/year) and on average almost no freshwater input from three rivers that drain into the bay. |
Keywords | Australia, Hervey Bay, coastal bay, ocean circulation, climate change, hydrology, inverse estuary, continental shelf |
