Meteorological Signal on Hydrodynamics in the Ilha Grande and Sepetiba Bays: Lag Effects and Coastal Currents
On the southeastern coast of Brazil, the bays of Ilha Grande and Sepetiba are linked by the Ilha Grande Channel, where remarkably strong currents have been consistently observed.Tidal forces cannot explain the strength of these currents.Previous researchers have focused on investigating factors like baroclinic effects due to salinity differences or
