Abstract
A 3D barotropic finite difference model was adapted to reproduce the dynami cs of the Ria de Vigo estuary, in the north-west corner of Spain. The model has been applied with astronomical tide and observed wind forcing data. Th e results are compared to data obtained by an AANDERAA DCM 12 acoustic Dopp ler current meter at one point of the Ria.
