Recording current meter data from two approximately one-month periods are used to investigate non-tidal exchanges between Corpus Christi Bay, Texas, and the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. The net transport in May and June, 1975, is an outflow which appears to be driven primarily by slowly falling coastal water levels. Rising coastal water levels in July, 1976, appear to be responsible for a net inflow into the bay. In each study, non-tidal current variations, occurring over time scales on the order of three to six days, are superimposed onto the very long period net transport. Related studies in the same area suggest that these estuarine-shelf exchanges are in response to meso-scale meteorological forcing.
