Analysis of simultaneous current measurements in the middle (point PA1) and outer (point PA2) Abrolhos Bank shelf showed different characteristics and forcing mechanisms between the two shelf regions. The mean currents at ...

The Camamu Bay (CMB) is located on the narrowest shelf along the South American coastline and close to the formation of two major Western Boundary Currents (WBC), the Brazil/North Brazil Current (BC/NBC). These WBC flow ...

Four current time series, collected at costal locations of the San Matías and San Jose' gulfs, Argentina, are analyzed for tidal and residual currents. Tides dominate San Matías Gulf dynamics, accounting for more than 72% ...

This study identifies the dynamical mechanisms driving seasonal variations in oceanic circulation and water mass characteristics of the Gulf of San Jorge (GSJ) and its exchanges with the Patagonian Shelf (PS). A suite of ...

Choked lagoons (like Mar Chiquita, Argentina) are influenced by local winds because the inlet channel acts as a dynamic filter which reduce tidal fluctuations. Previous studies showed that the effects of onshore winds ...

Semidiurnal (M2, S2, N2 and K2), diurnal (K1,O1 and P1) and quarter-diurnal (M4, MN4 and MS4) barotropic tides over the North Patagonian Gulfs of Argentina: San Matías, (SMG), Nuevo (NG) and San José (SJG) are examined ...

The circulation and stratification in the shallow semi-enclosed bay of Paracas located downstream of the main upwelling cell off the Peruvian coast were studied during the summer season using a regional circulation model ...

Tidal levels were studied in 48 stations using tidal predictions along the coasts of the Pacific and Caribbean of Central America. Statistics of basic mean values were analyzed to characterize the stations. These ...
