Abstract: After a brief review on the tidal instantaneous circulation in the bay of Seine, residual flows are studied. 3 main forcings are considered: the tidal one with developments of coastal eddies, the density gradientsi downstream the Seine estuary and the meteorological forcings. Long-term in situ measurements and 2D or 3D models are compared. Finally a schematic Lagrangian residual circulation calculated by a 2D model is presented.
