groundwater transport in highly permeable limestones in the Florida Keys:
A tracer experiment: The Association for Ground Water Scientists and
Engineers, National Ground Water Association National Convention, Program
with Abstracts, p. 179-180.
- Based on fluorescent dye studies, marine ground water in the upper
Florida Keys was observed flowing in a net direction from Florida Bay
to the Atlantic Ocean with a maximum velocity of 2.5 m/d.
- Water-level differences between Florida Bay and the Atlantic were determined
to be the primary driving force behind groundwater flow. Water level in the
bay is typically 12 to 15 cm higher, on average, than that in the Atlantic.
- The most interesting results were observed when strong winds were out of
the east and southeast. Winds from these directions depressed the bay
water level and raised the ocean level, causing groundwater flow direction
to reverse into Florida Bay.
