The processes controlling the development of estuarine turbidity maxima (ETM) are fairly well understood. However, predicting the maximum SPM concentration in an estuary based on aggregated parameters (estuarine dimensions, river discharge, tidal range) remains, up to now, impossible without extensive in-situ measurements and/or numerical models. This study introduces an approach that links the strength of the ETM to the tidal, river, and morphological characteristics of a system. Using in-situ data from contrasting meso- to macro-tidal estuaries, we found a consistent pattern of maximum SPM concentrations within a two-dimensional parameter space. The resulting turbidity diagram reveals a high SPM hotspot in estuaries with specific forcing conditions, corresponding to intermediate relative tidal amplitudes and freshwater Froude numbers. This multi-site research advances our predictions of ETM intensity in tide-dominated estuaries, offering a straightforward method to explore potential turbidity trajectories under various human pressures.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Relating estuarine turbidity maxima to tide and river conditions","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-09-30 01:42:46.907390","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"AuthorKeywords":"suspended-sediment transport;macrotidal seine estuary;ems river;human impact;long-term;france;dynamics;frequency;hydrodynamics;variability","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2025,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2026-09-28","DateCreate":"2026-09-28","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:001669617700004","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1038/s41598-025-32950-7"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":448758,"PubliDate":2025,"Pagination":"3096","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"16","Issue":"1","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":208093,"SerRR":"Scientific Reports (Nature Publishing Group).
