Effects of Tidal Range Variability and Local Morphology on Hydrodynamic Behavior and Salinity Structure in the Caeté River Estuary, North Brazil

Figure 1

Location of the Caeté river estuary and the oceanographic stations at the upper (UE), middle (ME), and lower (LE) estuarine locations. Location of the two tide gauges (TG) is shown on the map. A demarcation highlighted by a dashed line represents an approximate bathymetry contour in meters along the main-channel and near the adjacent estuary mouth. Mangrove (dark grey tones), highland (light grey tones surrounding Bragança city), and sandflat (white) are also shown on the map.
