48 Computed baroclinic height anomaly field (meters) for 

 hurricane Allen at 1200 GMT 9 August 1980 95 



49 Computed surface current field (cm/s) for hurricane Allen 



at 1200 GMT 9 August 1980 96 



50 Time sequence of the averaged water level in the Gulf of 

 Mexcio, T}Qt obtained from the simulation of hurricane 



Car la. The datum is mean sea level 97 



51 Time sequences of volume transport through Florida (FS) 

 and Yucatan (YS) Straits obtained from the simulation of 

 hurricane Car la. The unlabelled curve is the net 

 differential volume transport. Note that the same sign 

 for FS and YS correspond to out-of -phase port flux (one 



into and the other out of the Gulf) 98

 hurricane Allen. The unlabelled curve is the net 

 differential volume transport 99
