Modelling of upwelling in the coastal area of Cabo Frio (Rio de Janeiro - Brazil)

A 1 1/2 reduced-gravity model is proposed to study the hydrodynamic and thermodynamic features of the coastal upwelling area of Cabo Frio (Rio de Janeiro-Brazil). The vertical structure of the model is described by an active layer overlaying a deep inert layer where the pressure gradient is set to z...
