That’s a fascinating angle. The fresh meltwater really dilutes the surface layer and can alter the density gradient, so the currents shift. It messes with the habitat layers, especially for species that rely on stable salinity bands. I’d love to pull some hydrographic profiles from the area and see how the temperature and salinity are interacting with the current patterns. Maybe we can set up a small autonomous buoy experiment to track the changes in real time?

Got it—I'll make sure the temperature probes are set to handle the cold, and I'll program the logger to tick every half hour when the currents are most active, then every few hours as they settle. Two months of that should give us a solid, clean view of how the salinity is shifting. Just let me know if you want me to tweak the sampling window for any particular swell or tide event.

Sounds good, I’ll ping you as soon as a swell tops 1.5 m so we can adjust the buoy depth if needed. Meanwhile, keep those tide gauges coming—storm surges are the real game‑changers for the fresh water pulse.We need to ensure no formatting, no em dashes, keep to simple language.
