This study aims to assess the hydrological fluxes between the ‘Grand Etang’ of Miquelon and the oceanic part. Bathymetric surveys and Doppler current meter data acquisitions were carried out from August 14th, to November 5th, 2014 and from April 1st, to end of July 2015 to allow the following estimates : Total area (227 Ha) and characteristics volumes (total : 6,7 106 m3; oscillating 2,8 106 m3 (40 %); half-tide 5,2 106 m3) Velocity Index of channel to evaluate the average current speed at cross-section channel Fluxes, on flood and ebb tide respectively : Instantaneous flow: maxima at 94,2 et 65 m3/s mean 37.2 et 24.5 m3/s. in 2014 and maxima 85,03 et 73,62 m3/s mean 26,22 et 28,20 m3/s in 2015. Circulating fluxes by tide : maxima 1,06 and 1,09 106 m3,... |
