Abstract

Water circulation and U - V sea velocity components of Colombian Pacific Ocean (CPO) are the results obtained from evolution modeling of thermohaline and dynamic characteristics of CPO. It was observed that superficial layer circulation is under the influence of Inter - Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) migration. This circulation also depends on the influence of superficial and sub-superficial currents (Peru Current, North Equatorial Countercurrent, Colombian Current, and Panama Current), which change their intensity during the year depending on trade winds influence. Vertical distribution of dynamic characteristics under these layers is practically constant. Submarine mountain ranges make it difficult to interchange waters of CPO with those of other regions, forming a local circulation in deep layers. In circulation system, a three layer vertical structure is observed: 0 - 80m, 80 - 200m and 200m - bottom.
