Abstract
Dye patch movements and other indicators demonstrate a complex zoned tidal stream flow into Wellington Harbour. In the harbour, the flood stream makes clockwise and the ebb runs anti-clockwise at rates approximating a quarter-knot. The boundaries between zones moving with different horizontal velocities are marked by slicks.Keywords
