The role of mixing for this circulation was not yet sufficiently studied for realistic cases, where idealised studies might not hold. Here, the full chain of relations from instantaneous, local processes to the tidally averaged, estuary-wide circulation was studied using numerical simulations of a realistic tidal estuary, revealing a complex pattern of local mixing processes which, however, resulted in a subtidal estuary-wide circulation close to the idealised theory. %L 530 %9 theses %9 Text %9 Hochschulschrift %R 10.18453/rosdok_id00005651 %U https://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00005651 %U https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00005651
