Abstract	Time-series analyses were used to investigate the relationships between barometric pressure changes, earth tides, and water-level fluctuations in a confined aquifer. The method was applied to data from the fractured aquifer at the Hydrogeological Experimental Site in Poitiers (France) and used to yield estimates of the aquifer’s storage capacity, porosity and barometric efficiency. The aim is to address relevance of these analyses for an aquifer showing both fracture draining and confined karstic flow in thin strata. Cross-correlation and spectral analysis are used to compare water-level head and atmospheric-pressure fluctuations. Porosity and storage capacity are calculated using this method and compared to results from petrophysical measurements and hydraulic pumping tests, respectively. The storage coefficients calculated by the time-series analyses are in agreement with those obtained by interpretation of the interference pumping tests. Conversely, porosity values calculated by time-series analyses are underestimated compared to those obtained by other methods.Les analyses de séquences temporelles ont été utilisées pour étudier les relations entre variations de pression barométrique, marées terrestres, et fluctuations du niveau de l’eau dans un aquifère captif. La méthode a été appliquée aux données provenant d’un aquifère fracturé du Site Hydrogéologique Expérimental à Poitiers (France) et utilisée pour fournir une estimation de la capacité d’emmagasinement de l’aquifère, de la porosité et de l’efficacité de la pression barométrique. Le but est d’appréhender la pertinence de ces analyses pour un aquifère présentant à la fois un drainage de fractures et un écoulement karstique captif dans des couches minces. La corrélation croisée et l’analyse spectrale sont utilisées pour comparer les fluctuations de niveau piézométrique et de pression atmosphérique. La porosité et la capacité de stockage sont calculées en utilisant cette méthode et comparées respectivement aux résultats de mesures pétrophysiques et d’essais hydrauliques de pompage. Les coefficients d’emmagasinement calculés à partir des analyses de séquences temporelles sont en accord avec ceux obtenus par interprétation des interférences lors d’essais de pompage. Réciproquement, les valeurs de porosité calculées à partir d’analyses de séquences temporelles sont sous-estimées en comparaison avec celles obtenues par d’autres méthodes.Se utilizaron análisis de series de tiempo para investigar las relaciones entre cambios de presión barométrica, mareas terrestres y fluctuaciones de nivel en un acuífero confinado. El método se aplicó a datos del acuífero fracturado en el Sitio Experimental Hidrogeológico de Poitiers (Francia) y se usó para estimar la capacidad de almacenamiento del acuífero, su porosidad y su eficiencia barométrica. El objetivo es demostrar la relevancia de los análisis en un acuífero con drenaje en fracturas y flujo confinado en estratos delgados en ambiente cárstico. Se utilizan correlación cruzada y análisis espectral para comparar los niveles de agua con las fluctuaciones de la presión atmosférica. La porosidad y la capacidad de almacenamiento se calculan usando esos métodos y se comparan con resultados de mediciones petrofísicas y ensayos de bombeo, respectivamente. Los coeficientes de almacenamiento calculados por medio del análisis de series de tiempo están de acuerdo con aquellos obtenidos de la interpretación de ensayos de bombeo con interferencias. De modo inverso, los valores de porosidad calculados por medio del análisis de series de tiempo son menores con respecto a aquellos obtenidos con otros métodos.
