Modeling the Processes that Control Fine Sediments Transport in the Río de la Plata Estuary

Numerical models are excellent tools for conducting process studies and testing hypotheses based on observations. They constitute a "virtual laboratory" in which the forcings can be set "on" or "off", or even the environmental conditions can be modified. The Rio de la P...
