TL;DR: In this paper, a set of MATLAB programs have been written to perform classical harmonic analysis for periods of about 1 year or shorter, account for unresolved constituents using nodal corrections, and compute confidence intervals for the analyzed components.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors constructed a quantitative and internally consistent circulation scheme for the Strait of Georgia after dividing the body of water into four regions: the Fraser River plume, the surface waters down to 50 m, the intermediate waters up to 200 m, and the deep water.

TL;DR: In this paper, the International Thermodynamic Equation of Seawater was defined in terms of a new salinity variable, Absolute Salinity, which takes into account the spatial variation of the composition of seawater.

TL;DR: In this article, an algorithm is developed to compute the conductivity of lake and dilute ocean water from measured chem-ical composition at arbitrary temperature and pressure, where the complex mixed electrolyte is considered as a sum of binary electrolytes rather than a total of ions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss uncertainties in both the Reference Composition and the Reference-Composition Salinity Scale on which Reference Salinity is reported, and discuss a constructed conservative variable referred to as "Preformed Salinity", denoted S∗, which will be useful in process-oriented numerical modelling studies.
