Negative estuarine circulation in the Ria of Pontevedra (NW Spain)
12 páginas, 9 figuras, 1 tabla An along estuary negative circulation was measured in the Ria of Pontevedra (NW Spain) on May 13, 1998. This two-layered circulation pattern, with near bed water moving seaward and near surface water landward, was generated by the existence of two different water masse...
