A modeling study of Patos lagoon (Brazil) flow response to idealized wind and river discharge: dynamical analysis
A three-dimensional numerical model is used to investigate the Patos Lagoon flow response to idealized northeasterly winds and river inflow. North of Ponta da Feitoria, in the central lagoon, the main balance in the alongshore direction at steady state is between the surface stress and the pressure...
