Subject : SEASONAL VARIABILITY OF WATER EXCHANGE OF SHARM OBHUR JEDDAH, RED SEA 
Document Language : Arabic 
Abstract : The exchange of water between coastal inlets and the inner continental shelf is mainly due to astronomical, meteorological and thermohaline forces. The relative importance of these factors depends on local tides and characteristic wind speeds. Sharm Obhur is a shallow and narrow coastal inlet about 10 Km long. The maximum depth at the entrance is about 35 m. It has marinas, hotels, and other tourist attractions along its periphery. The study of water exchange is of significant importance because of the sewage coming from the hotels and marinas. The flushing time will be calculated based on current measurements made at the entrance over a tidal cycle on each trip. The relative importance of tides and wind stress in governing the water exchange will be discussed. Other physical parameters such as temperature and salinity will also be measured in the study area.
