Resumen:
A 3-D baroclinic model has been applied to investigate the location of the salinity front of the Río de la Plata. River run-off, tides and mean winds for summer and winter conditions respectively were considered in order to find out the most important factors for the observed seasonal variability of this location. It turned out that the significantly different wind fields are the determining forcing. The resulting surface salinity distributions show a surprisingly good agreement with the present knowledge from observations.
