| Resumo: |
Meteorological records and water temperature data from a 119-day period in the winter of 1979-1980 are used to develop and verify a numerical model of local air-water heat energy exchanges in the Indian River lagoon, on the Atlantic coast of South Florida. In terms of day-to-day variability, the most important processes are latent heat exchanges, net incoming solar radiation and sensible heat exchanges - in that order. Cold fronts moving through the study area alternate warm, moist maritime tropical air with relatively cool, dry continental polar air behind the front. As a result, the amount of heat stored in lagoonal waters is most highly correlated with the sensible and latent heat flux terms. Combining the individual heating and cooling processes, daily water temperatures can be simulated to a close approximation under a variety of meteorological conditions.
