Abstract

Tide propagation, and wave propagation-refraction numerical models were implemented to asses Mira’s River delta system dynamics. In this study we analyze tide propagation by looking at sea level synthetic data and records from Buenaventura tide gauge (1953-2000). Wave data from deep waters (1979-2000), including significant wave height (HS ), peak period (TP ) and dominant direction (DP ) records, was evaluated and propagated to shallow waters to characterize wave dynamics. Tide’s behavior is semi-diurnal with mean ranges of 2.46 y 2.58m. Waves comes from SW – SWW mainly, with significant wave height between 0.25 and 2.23m., and peak periods from of 5 to 23 s. The implementation of numerical models allows the evaluation of different oceanographic scenarios as a ground for costal management decision-making processes
