A characteristic of river-water dispersion in a small estuary was observed based on the distributions of water temperature and salinity. The degree of mixing condition between river and sea waters is estimated by means of the temperature-salinity relation. The percentage of the sea water having a salinity of 36.0‰ to the fresh water, which is named the sea-water ratio increases linearly with distance from the river mouth to offshore along the axis of dispersion.}, pages = {188--193}, title = {A Distribution of Surface-Water Masses in the Lungga Estuary, the Solomon Islands}, volume = {4}, year = {1984} }
