Simulations indicate the Balmer decrement can serve as a diagnostic to identify inflowing gas in front of face-on galaxies, showing a mean front-back offset of approximately -0.14 despite scatter from clumpy dust.
Spatially resolved observations of z~0.1 galaxies show Mg II absorption outflow velocities are systematically higher than Hα emission velocities by ~0.4 dex while maintaining similar correlations with star formation rate and surface density.
