The salinity front of the Riío de la Plata - A numerical case study for winter and summer conditions
A 3-D baroclinic model has been applied to investigate the location of the salinity front of the Río de la Plata. River run-off, tides and mean winds for summer and winter conditions respectively were considered in order to find out the most important factors for the observed seasonal variability of...
