Bibliography: leaves 228-237. / Tomales Bay, California, situated along the west coast of the United States of America, in the mid-latitudes at 38° 13' 50" N, 122° 58' 30" W, was chosen as the study site for the "Biogeochemical Reactions In Estuaries" (BRIE) project of the "land Margins Ecosystems Research" (LMER) program of the National Science Foundation in the U.S.A. Research on terrigenous inputs, air-sea exchange, sediment-water exchange, ocena-bay exchange and internal cycling in estuaries was conducted. This thesis addresses the ocean-bay exchange section in identifying and describing the estuarine water circulation and its variability, both temporally and spatially, that drives the observed water column structure in Tomales Bay and the effect of wind driven coastal upwelling on the estuary.
