The graphics in this document are mainly models of current flow, rather than actual measurements, but it is mentioned that the average current flow, neglecting wind, is only 0.1 m/s in the Rio de la Plata. Since winds of 5 m/s are routine according to the paper, the currents vary strongly based on winds and tides.
See for example the figura on pages 26 to 37 which show the modeled variation with different wind direction. I don't see a modeling of the affect of tides - this appears to be the average current over the tidal cycle? But I admit I have not visited this area. My main objection is the inclusion of Bahia Samborombon in the estuary. The charts and satellite images show very little influence from river water in that area, as well as in the section of coast east of Montevideo. – Joseph Eisenberg On Tue, Aug 4, 2020 at 12:42 PM <mural...@montevideo.com.uy> wrote: > > > ----- Mensaje original ----- > > De: "Kevin Kenny" <kevin.b.ke...@gmail.com> > > Para: "Tag discussion, strategy and related tools" < > tagging@openstreetmap.org> > > Enviados: Martes, 4 de Agosto 2020 16:28:55 > > Asunto: Re: [Tagging] Rio de la Plata edit war > > > On Tue, Aug 4, 2020 at 3:18 PM Joseph Eisenberg < > joseph.eisenb...@gmail.com > > > wrote: > > >> These rules would exclude the lower Rio De La Plata and the lower part > of the > >> mouth of the Saint Lawrence river, as well as other wide estuaries > where winds > >> and tides have more influence on surface water flow than does the > discharge of > >> the river.
