Abstract
Moreover, we found that seawater intrusion occurs during the summer when salinity in the lagoon is high and fresh submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is low. This process reverses during the winter (wet season) when SGD increases by a factor of 2-3, due to the recession of the saltwater wedge from land. Our findings show that in absence of waves and tides, density-driven dynamics, and particularly the terrestrial freshwater fluxes, create a major impact on saltwater wedge dynamics.
