Note(s): Wind, bottom pressure and current meter data are used to describe water level differences and exchanges between Florida Bay and Atlantic shelf waters during the passage of Tropical Storm Gordon on 15 November 1994. The data indicate that winds associated with the approaching storm forced a 30 cm set-up of water levels over the inner shelf creating a shelf-to-bay pressure gradient.
