contents Flushing time in Perlas Lagoon and Bluefields Bay, Nicaragua Carlos L. Brenes Aldo Hernández Daniel Ballestero Ciencias de la Tierra flushing time Caribbean Sea coastal lagoons The flushing time of Perlas Lagoon and Bluefields Bay were studied in January, March, May, and July 2001.Calculations of the total water volume, tidal prism, mean salinity, and fresh water flows are shown. The flushing times rangefrom 14 to 17 days for Perlas Lagoon and from 2 to 4 days for Bluefields Bay. Flushing time variability, determined largely bythe fresh water contribution, is greater for Bluefields Bay, duplicating its magnitude during the dry months compared to therainy season. In both bodies of water, the relationship between fresh water input and flushing time is inverse: for BluefieldsBay T = 5.2·e-0.0008 (FW), where r2 = 0.835 and for Perlas Lagoon T= 20.2·e-0.0004 (FW), where r2= 0.873. 2007 artículo científico 0716-1069 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=45635108 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=456 Investigaciones Marinas application/pdf Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso Investigaciones Marinas (Chile) Num.1 Vol.35
