A set of 3-D nested models for tidal propagation from the argentinean continental shelf to the Río de la Plata estuary - Part I. M2

As a contribution to the UNDP/GEF project 'Environmental Protection of the Río de la Plata and its Maritime Front', the three-dimensional primitive equation Hamburg Shelf Ocean Model is being implemented for forecasting purposes. As a first step a study of the tidal propagation was done. D...
