Numerical modeling of the response of Ceará continental shelf waters to wind stress forcing

Ceará shelf waters response to steady and transicnt wind forcing, from Ponta Cajuais (04°42'S, 37°19.5'W) to Ponta de Itapagé (02°50.5'S, 40000'W), was studied using a hydrodynamic numerical model. The finitc difference model was based upon the equations for a barotropic ocean in...
