摘要: Abstract Nutrient fluxes were measured between Fourleague Bay, a shallow Louisiana estuary, and the Gulf of Mexico every 3 h February 1 April 30, 1994 to determine how high velocity winds associated with cold fronts peak Atchafalaya River discharge influenced transport. Net water ebb-dominated throughout study because wind forcing volumes entering northern Bay from River. Flushing time averaged
