  abstract = {{T}he {C}hilean {I}nland {S}ea ({CIS}) and the fjords region in {S}outhern {C}hile host human activities such as salmon aquaculture. {D}uring the productive austral summer, the {CIS} exchanges heat, salt, dissolved oxygen, and nutrients with the {S}outhern {P}acific {O}cean via the {G}uafo {M}outh, a very shallow strait. {T}ides influence the productivity of the {CIS}, a high-frequency forcing typically not considered in circulation models when estimating exchange fluxes. {I}n this work, the inflow, outflow, net, mass, and nutrient fluxes through the {G}uafo {M}outh are evaluated using a high-resolution regional model forced by tides. {M}odel output (temperature, salinity, and currents) is compared to hydrodynamic data. {T}he impact of tidal forcing on summer-mean currents and transports is quantified. {T}hese findings are compared with results from a lower-resolution, commonly used, general circulation model. {A} {L}agrangian modeling approach highlights that the water masses transiting from the open ocean through the {G}uafo {M}outh mainly originate from the region south of the mouth.},
