Modeling the Suspended Sediment Transport in a Very Wide, Shallow, and Microtidal Estuary, the Río de la Plata, Argentina

Abstract The impact of the diverse processes responsible for the distribution of suspended sediments in the wide, shallow, and microtidal Río de la Plata estuary and the adjacent shelf is studied by means of a set of process‐oriented numerical simulations. Model results show that the large width and...
