Measurements of velocity arid temperature distributions were made in entrances of tidal harbours at reduced scale. The influences of the geometry of the entrance and tidal water level changes on the how in the harbour entrance and the exchange of water between harbour and river were studied. Density differences were absent. The formation and decay of gyres in the harbour is shown to correspond with variations in advective and tur bulent transports of heat through the harbour entrance.
