Note(s): Current meter time series collected between 1995 and 2001 are used to describe the exchanges of water through five tidal channels that connect Lignum Vitae Basin, a large subbasin in eastern Florida Bay, with adjacent subbasins and Atlantic shelf waters. Current data were combined with measured or simulated water levels, and channel geometry measurements were incorporated, to quantify volume transport through the channels.
