Note

Current and wind data collected during a 223-d study period from early June 1983 through early January 1984 are used to document net upwind return flow over seasonal time scales in the Indian River Lagoon near Sebastian Inlet on the Atlantic Coast of central Florida. Spectral analysis of wind and current meter data suggests that wind forcing accounts for the majority of nontidal flow. The two time series are highly coherent at periodicities of 2,3–3.5, 4, and 6 d.
