“…Most inverse estuaries are found in hot arid climates. Examples include the Persian Gulf (Kämpf and Sadrinasab, 2006;Sadrinasab and Kämpf, 2004), South Australian gulfs: Spencer Gulf and Gulf St. Vincent (De Silva Samarasinghe, 1998;Kämpf, Brokensha, and Bolton, 2009;Kämpf, Payne, and Malthouse, 2010;Nunes and Lennon, 1986;Nunes Vaz, Lennon, and Bowers, 1990), the upper Gulf of California (Lav, God, and Alvarez, 1998), the upper reaches of San Diego Bay (Largier, 2010), and various smaller systems such as Laguna Ojo de Liebre (Postma, 1965), Laguna de Guyamas (Valle-Levinson, Delgado, and Atkinson, 2001), Laguna San Ignacio (Winant and de Velasco, 2011), the Coorong lagoon (Kämpf, 2014), Mission Bay (Largier, Hearn, and Chadwick, 1996), Shark Bay (Burling, Ivey, and Pattiaratchi, 1999), Hervey Bay (Ribbe, 2006), and the Great Barrier Reef (Andutta, Ridd, and Wolanski, 2011). Largier (2010) gives a comprehensive overview of the general dynamics that govern such low-inflow estuaries.…”
