RESUMO

The aim of this study was simulate the hydrodynamic of the Inner Continental Shelf of the State of São Paulo (PCISP) and of the Mid Continental Shelf of the State of São Paulo (PCMSP) during summer, in response to the density gradient forcing, to the climatological wind shear stress forcing and to the tide forcing, applying the tridimensional hydrodynamic numeric model Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS). The experiments performed showed the effects of the density distribution over the general circulation behavior in the PCISP and PCMSP are secondary compared with the induced climatological wind shear stress circulation. The results indicate that in the PCISP and in the PCMSP the component velocity parallel to the coast is dominated by subinertial frequencies forcing, as the climatological wind and the density gradient, while the component velocity perpendicular to the coast is strongly influenced by the tide forcing.
