(a) Timeseries of Sea Surface Height inside Sharma lagoon, in NEOM, during a week in summer (red) and in winter (blue). (b) Sharma lagoon flushing time during summer and winter, showing the percentage of particles that have escaped the lagoon boundaries. The same lunar phase (full moon spring tide) was chosen for both seasons. Minimum and maximum values for each season are highlighted in the y-axis with the corresponding colours. Particles mostly escape during the ebb tide phases, when more water is exiting the lagoon.
