Se estudiaron las condiciones fisicoquímicas de la Bahía de Santa Marta, Litoral Caribe colombiano, desde agosto de 1980 hasta julio 1981. La similitud de los resultados obtenidos en nueve estaciones indican que las aguas superficiales son homogéneas y de características oceánicas. De diciembre a abril se registran las temperaturas más bajas (< 25°C) asociadas a altas salinidades (>36o/oo) y subsaturaciones de oxígeno disuelto (< 91o/o): estos factores, conjuntamente con observaciones de pH, alcalinidad y la variación de la estabilidad de la columna de agua evidencian procesos de surgencia en este período, permitiendo establecer un modelo aproximado para el ciclo anual de la bahía.Physical-chemical conditions have been studied in the Bay of Santa Marta, Colombian Caribbean, from August 1980 to July 1981. The results obtained at nine stations indicate that the surface water is rather homogeneous and of mainly oceanic character. In the period from december to april water temperatures were lowest (<25°C), salinity highest (>36°/oo) and undersaturation with oxigen occured (<:91o/o) these factors together with pH, alcalinity and the variation of water column stability are indicating an upwelling phenomenon in this period and allow the stablishment of an approximated model for the animal cycle the bay.
