relationship, mainly in the periods between 2 and 8 days. A continuous month-long relationship exists in the 8–16-day period band. The statistically significant month-long power sections for the North–South (wy) wind velocity component exist for 2001–2002 winters, 2002–2003 winters, and 2003 summer. The statistically significant correlation between the North–South (wy) wind velocity component and seawater flux exists mainly in the 2–16-day period band.

Figure 17. Partial wavelet coherence of North–South (wy) wind velocity component versus salinity flux for the period (a)

This study explored the usefulness of continuous wavelet analysis in the investigation of salinity intrusion. The study summarized CWT, WTC, XWT, and PWC approaches and applied them in the analysis of the impact of forcing variables on the seawater flux in Sakai Channel. The study

Short-term oscillations are irregular and short-lived.
