Circulation in the Gulf of Mexico induced by tides, wind and the Yucatan Current

A three-dimensional model is used to study the circulation in the Gulf of Mexico. Currents associated with tides, wind and the Yucatan Current are presented. Each one of these forcings is analyzed by itself and as a combined effect of the three. We were able to closely reproduce the circulation and...
