Download scientific diagram | Map of the Bras d'Or Lakes region of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia, Canada, showing selected bathymetric features within the model domain (coloured shading and depths in metres), locations of sea level gauges (solid dots), hydrographic stations (pink triangles) and current meter stations (red triangles). Oceanographic transects through the Great Bras d'Or Channel, North Basin and Barra Strait, where current velocity is presented through the vertical, are marked by thick white lines. Hydrographic transects extending onwards through Bras d'Or Lake and into East Bay, where temperature-salinity data are presented through the vertical, are marked by red dashed lines. The rectangle marked by red solid lines shows the area chosen to present the model-calculated tidal residual flows (Fig. 9). Locations where the mouths of 17 rivers join the model boundary are marked with open red circles. The radius of each circle represents the ratio of freshwater discharge of the river to the total freshwater input to the lake system. Inset shows the location of North Sydney where the tide gauge data were collected and the Sydney Airport where meteorological measurements were made from publication: Numerical study of circulation and temperature-salinity distributions in the Bras d’Or Lakes | The Bras d’Or Lakes (BdOL) are a large, complex and virtually land-locked estuary in central Cape Breton Island of Nova Scotia and one of Canada’s charismatic ecosystems, sustaining ecological and cultural communities unique in many aspects.
