- Origen y evolución del giro ciclónico de la Bahía de Campeche, Golfo de México Miguel Ángel Díaz-Flores David Alberto Salas-de-León María Adela Monreal-Gómez Ciencias de la Tierra altimetry cyclonic eddies Potential vorticity circulation in bays The ocean is characterized by a circulation dominated by vortex of different sizes; the vortex pl ay a very important role in the oceanic climate as they transport energy, mass and organisms. Their study is therefore of fir st importance to understand the different processes that occurring in the seas at different time-space scales. The Bay of Campeche, in the southern Gulf of Mexico, is characterized by a cyclonic circulation. W ith the aim of identifying the origin and the formation of the cyclonic vortex, data of currents registered in an oceanographic survey and data of sea altimetry obtained with remote sensor s were analyzed. From the results, the formation of the cyclonic vortex of the Bay of Campeche depends mainly on the conservat ion of the potential vorticity. 2017 artículo científico 0717-3326 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=47954027003 es http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=479 Revista de Biología Marina y Oceanografía application/pdf Universidad de Valparaíso Revista de Biología Marina y Oceanografía (Chile) Num.3 Vol.52
