Data and code for: Disentangling Physical Forcings Influencing Exchange Flow in a Multi-basin Fjord System: Chiloé Inner Sea, Patagonia

This repository contains model configuration files, processed Total Exchange Flow (TEF) time series, forcing data, and analysis scripts supporting Pinilla and Ross (2026), "Disentangling Physical Forcings Influencing Exchange Flow in a Multi-basin Fjord System: Chiloé Inner Sea, Patagonia" (egusphere-2025-4893, under review at Ocean Science, EGU). The study uses four controlled 3-D MIKE 3 FM simulations of the Chiloé Inner Sea (41-44°S, northern Patagonia, Chile) for 2018, each toggling a different combination of physical forcings (rivers, wind, tides, boundary T-S). TEF metrics (Q_in, deltaS, Q_in*deltaS) are computed hourly at three cross-sections (Reloncaví, Desertores, Corcovado) spanning ~260 km.本仓库包含支持Pinilla与Ross（2026）论文《巴塔哥尼亚奇洛埃内海多盆地峡湾系统中交换流的物理驱动因子解耦》（预印本编号egusphere-2025-4893，目前投稿于《Ocean Science》并由欧洲地球物理联盟（EGU）评审中）的模型配置文件、经处理的总交换流（Total Exchange Flow, TEF）时间序列、强迫数据与分析脚本。 本研究针对智利巴塔哥尼亚北部南纬41°至44°的奇洛埃内海，开展了4组受控三维MIKE 3 FM数值模拟，模拟时段为2018年，每组模拟均切换不同的物理驱动因子组合（河流、风、潮汐、边界温盐T-S）。在横跨约260公里的3个断面（雷隆卡维Reloncaví、德塞托雷斯Desertores、科科瓦多Corcovado）处，每小时计算交换流指标（入流量Q_in、盐度差deltaS、入流量与盐度差的乘积Q_in×deltaS）。
