  abstract = {{T}his manuscript presents a combined experimental and numerical study of the impact of cross-reef fluxes on coral reef lagoon dynamics. {T}he selected field site is the {O}uano {L}agoon ({N}ew {C}aledonia {I}sland, {F}rance) in the {S}outh {W}estern {P}acific {O}cean. {M}easurements of wave transformation above the reef and current profiles through passages and reef openings have been carried out during a 3-month survey. {D}ata analysis reveals the preponderant roles played by both tides and waves on the lagoon dynamics. {B}ased on field data, a simple parameterization of cross-reef fluxes is implemented in a coastal lagoon circulation model and a satisfactory agreement is found between parameterized model and field results. {T}he model is thus used as a numerical experimental tool in order to analyse the cross-reef flows' possible influence on a narrow lagoon dynamics. {T}he results highlight the importance of cross-reef fluxes induced by wave breaking over the reef barrier on the whole lagoon circulation and water properties.},
