Synoptic patterns associated with the highest wind-waves at the mouth of the Río de la Plata estuary
In the present paper, the highest wind waves measured at the Río de la Plata mouth were selected to characterize weather patterns associated with the most severe wave conditions in this region. This study was carried out on the basis of wave parameters data series - 14. year long - measured at the R...
