Hourly water levels, collected over a 610-day period from November 1973 to July 1975 on the Gulf coast of Texas, are used in a numerical model to simulate bay-shelf and inter-bay exchanges over time scales ranging from several hours to several months. A one-dimensional, barotropic model describes open-channel flow in response to a slope in the free surface, with accelerations resisted by a quadratic friction term. The model calculates the accumulation of Gulfwater in Corpus Christi Bay, as well as the transport of Gulf water through the bay and into three adjacent sub-estuaries. Time-dependent mixing is incorporated into the calculations by assuming that 15% of the Gulf water entering Corpus Christi Bay during any given hour is retained in the bay.
