Circulation in the Gulf of Mexico induced by tides, wind and the Yucatan Current

A three-dimensional model is used to study the circulation in the Gulf of Mexico. Currents associated with tides, wind and the Yucatan Current are presented. Each one of these forcings is analyzed by itself and as a combined effect of the three. We were able to closely reproduce the circulation and...

Currents associated with tides, wind and the Yucatan Current are presented. Each one of these forcings is analyzed by itself and as a combined effect of the three. We were able to closely reproduce the circulation and elevation fields due to the tides. By forcing the model with winds, an anticyclonic circulation is obtained in the western region of the gulf. This feature has been associated in other studies with the local wind forcing and with the anticyclonic gyres generated in the eastern part of the gulf. Results of this work suggest that the detachment of the gyres is mainly a baroclinic process. The contribution of the barotropic flux of the Yucatan Current is found to be restricted to the eastern part of the basin. Se utiliza un modelo numérico barotrópico tridimensional para estudiar la circulación del Golfo de México. Se obtienen las corrientes forzadas por la marea, el viento y la Corriente de Yucatán, y se estudia la acción individual y el conjunto de estos forzamientos. Se reproduce satisfactoriamente la circulación y el campo de elevación debidos a la marea. Al forzar el modelo con viento se obtuvo una circulación anticiclónica en la región occidental del Golfo de México, circulación que ha sido asociada con el viento y los giros anticiclónicos provenientes de la región oriental del Golfo de México en otros estudios. Los resultados de este trabajo sugieren que el desprendimiento de remolinos es un proceso principalmente baroclínico. La contribución del flujo barotrópico de la Corriente de Yucatán a la circulación del Golfo de México se restringe a la región oriental de esta cuenca.
