A finite-difference numerical model is used to investigate seasonal-scale lagoon-shelf exchanges and transport within Indian River, a multi-inlet lagoon on the Atlantic coast of Florida, U.S.A. Meteorological, hydrologic and hydrographic data quantify forcing by seasonally-varying wind stress, coastal sea level and the net freshwater gain. The along-axis component of the wind stress reverses seasonally. North-westward wind stress stores water in the northern part of the lagoon in summer months, then south-westward wind stress removes it in winter months.
