A significant longshore transport divergence zone at the Northeastern Brazilian coast: implications on coastal Quaternary evolution

By using the mean directions of the wave-fronts approaching the Brazilian northeastern coastal stretch comprised between the localities of Real river (Sergipe State) and Galinhos (Rio Grande do Norte State) - coincident with those of the main winds occurring in the area - and their periods, we have...
