Note(s): The circulation within and in waters surrounding Florida Bay is a complex response to forcing by tides, winds and freshwater outflow from the Everglades. Tidal processes are complicated by the interaction of distinctly different tidal waves moving through the bay from the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean. Both wind forcing and freshwater entering the system vary significantly over time scales ranging from hours to seasons.
