Muhlia Melo Ciencias de la Tierra Seamount cyclonic eddy Gulf of California coastal circulation Hydrographic and current observations were gathered during a 1997 cruise in the southern Gulf of California, off La PazBay, to study coastal circulation and the influence of El Bajo de Espíritu Santo (EBES) seamount on the local flow. We detect anunusual presence of equatorial surface water related to the El Niño event of 1997-1998. In Farallón basin we describe a 120 kmdiameter near-surface cyclonic eddy from ADCP current measurements, geostrophic calculations and satellite imagery. Flowmeasurements show an intense (> 0.5 m s-1) and narrow (25 km) coastal jet flowing north towards the interior of the Gulf along theBaja California coast. A Lagrangian analysis of the flow field over the seamount shows the coastal jet and the convergence of theimpinging flows where bathymetry is important. 2003 artículo científico 0016-7169 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=56842312 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=568 Geofísica Internacional application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Geofísica Internacional (México) Num.3 Vol.42 |
