Canadian Atlas of Tidal Currents St. Lawrence estuary Volume 2 /Канадский атлас приливных течений Устье Святого Лаврентия Том 2

Книга на английском языке
This publication, the Atlas of Tidal Currents - St. Lawrence Estuary from Cap de
Bon-D?sir to Trois-Rivi?res, replaces the one published in 1939 by the Canadian
Hydrographic Service: Tidal Currents Charts, St. Lawrence Estuary. Numerous
measurements, acquired since then, as well as the use of computational models allow the presentation of more data.
The Atlas shows the surface currents of the St. Lawrence Estuary between Cap de Bon-D?sir and Trois-Rivi?res, where the tides and the freshwater out? ow dominate the circulation. This Atlas presents currents produced by tides and the river ? ow in a typical summer, but does not account for wind-driven currents.
The currents shown in the Atlas have been validated by the Ocean Productivity Division, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Laurentian Region at Maurice Lamontagne Institute in Mont-Joli.
