Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Estimating exchange rates of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) at high temporal resolution over extended periods remains challenging, particularly when using heat as a tracer in highly dynamic environments such as tidal systems. Currently available heat transport models struggle to accurately quantify SGD exchange rates in these settings ...
