来自新西兰和海外研究的数据被用来支持面积棱柱（A - Ω）关系的假设，像那些用来验证入口喉稳定性的屏障封闭的潮汐入口暴露的桑迪海岸，持有各种各样的河口类型，从泻湖河口的情况下，大型沿海海湾。这些关系表明，海湾的大小和沿岸的漂流量在确定河口的几何形状方面都很重要。这些经验关系可用于河口的划分和分类。
Data from New Zealand and overseas studies are used to support the hypothesis that area-prism (A - Ω) relationships, like those used to characterise the entrance throat stability of barrier enclosed tidal inlets on exposed sandy coasts, hold for a wide variety of estuary types ranging from lagoon to river mouth situations to large coastal embayments. The relationships indicate that both the bay size and the amount of littoral drift are important in determining the geometry of estuary mouths. The empirical relationships can be used to characterise and classify estuaries.
