| Riassunto: | Two three-dimensional and one two-dimensional models are used to simulate the tides (heights and currents) in the Gulf of California. One of the three-dimensional models uses sigma coordinates and the other uses fixed vertical levels. The results of the models are compared to observations by means of harmonic constants. It is found that tidal heights are better modelled with a simple two-dimensional model, while tidal currents are better modelled with the three-dimensional model with fixed vertical levels.
Se usaron dos modelos tridimensionales y uno bidimensional para simular las mareas (nivel del mar y corrientes) en el Golfo de California. Uno de los modelos tridimensionales usa coordenadas sigma y el otro usa niveles fijos en la vertical. Los resultados de los modelos se compararon con mediciones por medio de constantes armónicas. Se encontró que las alturas de marea se modelan mejor con el modelo bidimensional, mientras que las corrientes de marea se modelan mejor con el modelo tridimensional que utiliza niveles fijos en la vertical. |
