Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze water circulation in an estuary located in Boca del Río, Veracruz, Mexico. The diagnosis is based on the most representative flux records for the Jamapa River during the dry and rain seasons, that is, April and September, respectively. Tidal conditions, temperature, and water density were taken into account. For the diagnosis, a three-dimensional model (Delft3D) was applied. The seasonal circulation governing the estuary was evaluated using barotropic and baroclinic pressure levels. During the dry season, estuarine circulation was governed by the tides, and water circulation in the Mandinga lagoons was induced by baroclinic conditions. During the rainy season, the estuarine system was governed by discharge from the Jamapa River, and water circulation in the Mandinga lagoons is influenced by barotropic gradients.

河口水循环的诊断:以墨西哥韦拉克鲁斯州贾帕帕河和曼丁加泻湖为例

本研究的目的是分析位于墨西哥韦拉克鲁斯州博卡德尔Río河口的水循环。诊断依据的是Jamapa河在旱季和雨季(分别为4月和9月)最具代表性的通量记录。潮汐条件、温度和水密度都被考虑在内。应用三维模型(Delft3D)进行诊断。利用正压和斜压水平评价了控制河口的季节环流。在旱季，河口环流受潮汐支配，曼丁嘎泻湖水循环受斜压条件诱导。在雨季，河口系统受Jamapa河的流量控制，Mandinga泻湖的水循环受正压梯度的影响。

期刊介绍： A bilingual open-access publication, Ciencias Marinas (CM) is an international peer-reviewed journal that contains original research findings in all areas of marine science. It is published quarterly by the Autonomous University of Baja California, Mexico, and all its contents are publicly available on our journal website. Though a limited number of copies are still printed, the journal is mainly distributed in its electronic format. CM was conceived in 1973 as part of an academic project aimed to entice local researchers to publicly disclose their findings by adopting the culture of peer-review publishing. This academic project evolved into an international journal after accepting papers from researchers in the United States and, eventually, other parts of the world. Because of the diversity in authorship, CM issues were initially published in either Spanish or English, and occasionally in both languages. It was not until 1984 when CM included both language versions of all its contents, and it then became the fully bilingual journal it still is today. At CM we believe our inclusive format allows us not only to address a wider range of submissions from international authors but also to make published findings available to a wider international audience. So whether you are looking for information on the redfish in Icelandic waters or the physical and biological properties of the Gulf of California, feel free to peruse CM contents. You may find them to provide source material for your research.
