Abstract:The Río de la Plata is a large fluvial–estuarine–sea system discharging into the southwestern Atlantic Ocean, which has relevant features such as high fluvial discharge, microtidal astronomical tidal scales, a relevant meteorological tide, and a strong atmospheric forcing effect, due to its large width. The objective of this study is to advance the understanding of the estuarine hydrodynamics and salt transport, as well as discussing the main characteristics of the spatiotemporal variability of the salinity fi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
