چکیده انگلیسی
Bahia Magdalena (BM), known for its high primary productivity, is one of the largest tidal lagoons on the Mexican Pacific coast of the Baja California Peninsula. BM is located in an area of active coastal upwelling and significant tides with a maximum range of about 2.4â¯m. Dissolved inorganic nutrients upwelled from the depths are transported by tidal water exchange into the lagoon, contributing to its fertilisation. To estimate the magnitude and mechanisms driving the tidal exchange of water and nutrients, field observations of the nutrient content were made in the inlet area and on the adjacent shelf during March 2003, December 2004 and June, August and November 2005. In March 2003, the research vessel El Puma carried out a complete hydrological study of the area using Seabird-19 CTD profiler. At the same time, a current meter with a tide gauge was installed in the BM inlet, and multiple measurements of currents were made on a section across the inlet with a SonTek hull-mounted Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP). Field studies were complemented by numerical experiments with the hydrodynamic model ECOM 3D. Analysis of the currents in the inlet area, deriving from both the ADCP data and the numerical simulation, indicates that the water volume transported during a semidiurnal tidal cycle through the inlet varied from 0.3â¯km3 for neap tide to 0.82â¯km3 for spring tide. Net nitrate mass intakes to the lagoon deriving from currents in the mouth can be estimated as 7.0â¯Ãâ¯103â¯kg for neap tides and 20.0â¯Ãâ¯103â¯kg for spring tides, and the maximum phosphate contribution was estimated at 2.5â¯Ãâ¯103â¯kg and 8.5â¯Ãâ¯103â¯kg, respectively. Taking into account that fluvial contribution in the lagoon is practically absent, unexpanded mangroves are distributed mainly at its northern part, and organic sediment decomposition is potentially evaluated as low, we can thus conclude that the coupled effect of upwelling and tidal currents play an important role in fertilising the BM. Naturally, this mechanism works only in periods of upwelling activity, namely, from March to June, and to a lesser extent from September to October.
