钦科蒂格湾是一个沙洲建造的河口，有两个来自大西洋的入海口-一个在马里兰州的海洋城，另一个在向南约30英里的钦科蒂格湾。这里利用1951年至1956年期间收集的所有可用盐度数据来评估控制海湾月平均盐度的过程。盐分平衡的主要特征可以用一个简单的模型得到令人满意的解释，该模型将盐度的变化率等同于涉及淡水净流入和通过进水口的汇率的条件。对汇率的估计表明，海湾水域每天大约有7%的水量被更新。
Chincoteague Bay is a bar-built estuary with two inlets from the Atlantic Ocean—one at Ocean City, Maryland, and the other some 30 miles southward at Chincoteague Inlet. All available salinity data collected in the years 1951 through 1956 are utilized here to evaluate the processes which control the average monthly salinity in the bay. The major features of the salt balance are satisfactorily explained by a simple model equating the rate of change of salinity to terms involving net fresh water inflow and exchange rate through the inlets. An estimation of the exchange rate is made which indicates that approximately seven percent of the volume of the bay waters are renewed each day.
