The Río de la Plata estuary (RdP) is characterized by the large flow of its tributary rivers (Q), with an average of 22,000 m3 s− 1 and an interannual variability range from 8000 to 90,000 m3 s− 1. In this work, the ...

Meteorological tsunamis are frequently observed in different tide stations at the southeastern coast of South America. They are associated with the occurrence of atmospheric gravity waves during the passages of cold fronts ...

The purpose of the paper is to characterize mollusk stranding on the northern coast of Buenos Aires, and to determine the mechanisms of alteration induced by storm surges on the infralittoral macroinvertebrates as well as ...

The dimensions and shape of the Plata River estuary favor quasi-maritime dynamic conditions; storm winds produce surges that when enhanced by astronomical tides lead to extreme water levels. Thus, most of the Argentine ...

The development and evaluation of ensemble hindcasting and forecasting systems (EHS and EFS, respectively) for storm surges in the Río de la Plata Estuary (RdP) is presented. The models were forced by atmospheric sea level ...

This study focuses on the 15 May 2005 geomagnetic superstorm and aims to investigate the global variation of positive and negative storm phases and their development. Observations are provided by a series of global total ...
