  abstract = {{I}dentifying zones of stagnation and deposition of terrigenous matter or contaminants induced by human activity is a key issue in coastal areas. {I}n this paper, circulation processes and potential contaminant stagnation and deposition zones were assessed using hydrodynamic time parameters forced with meteorology. {T}he study focused on an {E}ulerian time parameter, the local e-flushing time (e{FT}). {T}he hydrodynamic modeling of coastal zones was applied to two bays of {N}ew {C}aledonia, located downstream of open mining sites. {N}umerous simulations were performed to classify the influence of forcing conditions on the e{FT} variability. {T}he need to consider meteorological forcings rather than average weather conditions for the calculation of e{FT}s was demonstrated. {I}n coastal zones, high wind velocity was the major forcing influencing e{FT}s, but below a threshold wind velocity, tidal range and river inputs became significant parameters. {S}patial variations of e{FT} values, depending on meteorological conditions, induced varying risks of stagnation zones. {G}eneral responses of the bays' hydrodynamics and the exposure of zones to potential contaminants were defined under various forcings. {O}ur findings demonstrate that strong turbulence zones are not always characterized by short e{FT}s because of antagonistic forcing effects. {D}iurnal tidal alternations were also proven to have less influence on e{FT} variations than tidal range changes over a lunar cycle.},
