Abstract

Lagoon Water level Tide River flux
The study concerns the water level (WL) evolution in lagoons under the influence of tides and river fluxes. We derive new approximate analytical solutions of the Stigebrandt (1980) equations and apply them to the Nokoué Lagoon (Benin), a large tropical coastal lagoon fed by substantial river input.
