Fig. 13.1. Rio de la Plata estuary with cross section areas and isobaths (m) [solid line
bottom salinity front, dotted line spring-summer surface salinity front (mean 30 isohaline), dashed line autumn-winter surface salinity front (mean 30 isohaline)]
13.2 Environmental Setting
13.2.1 Climate
The coupling of the South Pacific and South Atlantic high-pressure systems
controls the local atmospheric circulation. The frequency of on- and offshore winds is similar in the fall and winter but onshore winds dominate
