- Dynamics of physicochemical variables of the northern Colombian Caribbean coastal waters Johanna Vega-Sequeda Carlos Julio Polo-Silva Andrés Franco-Herrera Jorge Paramo-Granados Adolfo Sanjuan-Muñoz Ingeniería Upwelling water masses physicochemical variables northern Colombian Caribbean This study explored oceanographic dynamics related to high productivity processes in the northern Colombian Caribbean. Four scientific expeditions were carried out between May and December 2018, where selected physicochemical variables were measured using a CTDO (conductivity, temperature and dissolved oxygen sensor system), and transparency with a Secchi disc. May and December showed typical upwelling waters, while August and November showed waters characteristic of the rainy season. Spatial dynamics were related to temperature and salinity. Thus, northeastern stations showed colder and saltier surface waters compared to those located to the southwest. Vertical readings were taken and the Caribbean Surface Water mass was identified, and below it the subtropical subsurface water mass, which emerges at the beginning of the year. The results suggest that upwelling and freshwater runoff have a direct impact on the hydrographic structure of the region. 2019 artículo científico 0012-7353 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=49663345002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/496/49663345002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/496/49663345002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/496/49663345002/49663345002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/496/49663345002/movil 10.15446/dyna.v86n211.80375 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=496 Dyna application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Dyna (Colombia) Num.211 Vol.86
