Tidal and Current Prediction for the Amazon's North Channel Using a Hydrodynamical-Numerical Model.

Abstract

The hydrodynamical-numerical prediction model developed by W. Hansen is applied to the North Channel of the Amazon River for computation of tides and currents; the results are compared with tidal prediction obtained by the harmonic method and to actual current measurements.
