Residual circulation and thermohaline distribution of the Ría de Vigo: A 3-D hydrodynamical model

A three-dimensional, non-linear, baroclinic model is described and tested for the first time to study the residual circulation and the thermohaline distribution of the Ría de Vigo (NW Spain) at short time scales and under different wind stress regimes. Two markedly different realistic scenarios were...
