Abstract
Records from a current meter recently found adrift after 3 yr have been used to complete previously published cross sections of mean flow and tidal currents in Johnstone Strait. The new plots emphasize the cross-channel asymmetry of the estuarine circulation and the large phase lag of the upper layer current relative to the bottom currents for the diurnal (K1) tidal constituent. A recalculation of the net volume transport shows that its magnitude and direction remain undeterminable to the order of ± 103 m3∙s−1. Key words: tidal currents, residual currents, estuarine circulation, Johnstone StraitKeywords
