This dataset contains the results of the paper published in Tropical Oceanography titled "Influence of underwater hydrodynamics on oil and gas blowouts off Amazon River mouth" and the paper published in Dynamics of Atmospheres and Oceans with the title "Amazon River plume influence on Western Tropical Atlantic dynamic variability", in addition this dataset was also used in the paper titled" Amazon river plume influence on planktonic decapods in the tropical Atlantic" which is published in the Journal of Marine Systems. This dataset was obtained through a simulation using the ROMS model (Regional Ocean Model System) and was adjusted to reproduce the best possible hydro-thermodynamics in the area of the mouth of the Amazon and Para rivers, as well as in the area of the retroflexion of the North Brazil Current (NBC), showing how the low salinity waters of the Amazon and Para rivers are transported in the different months and weeks of the year. This dataset is located in an area belonging to Western Tropical ...
