Modelling the tides and their impacts on the vertical stratification over the Sofala Bank, Mozambique [PDF]
African Journal of Marine Science, 2016 The Sofala Bank, a wide shelf located along the central coast of Mozambique, hosts tides with high amplitudes. The Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS) was used to analyse the tidal currents on the bank and to investigate their effects on the stratification and generation of tidal fronts.

Journal of Marine Systems, 2018 Abstract A high-resolution, two-way nested Regional Ocean Modeling System, forced with monthly climatologies, has been set up for the Sofala Bank and adjacent deeper ocean of the Mozambique Channel to investigate the role of offshore mesoscale eddies on the shelf circulation, hydrographic structures and river plumes.

Water mass characteristics in a shallow bank highly influenced by river discharges: the Sofala Bank in Mozambique [PDF]
Journal of Integrated Coastal Zone Management, 2015 Les données hydrologiques recueillies entre 2003 et 2007 ont été analysées afin de décrire les masses d'eau du banc de Sofala dans le canal du Mozambique, une région sous l'influence du débit sortant du fleuve Zambèze. L'analyse des données a consisté en l'inspection visuelle de la température et de la salinité combinée à l'analyse de la variance pour ...

The influence of the river runoff in the artisanal fisheries catches in tropical coastal waters – The case of the Zambezi River and the fisheries catches in the northern Sofala Bank, Mozambique [PDF]
Journal of Integrated Coastal Zone Management, 2015 The artisanal catches contributes significantly in the overall annual fish production in Mozambique, estimated to 115,000 -140,000 tones, and thus of significant importance to livelihood of the coastal communities. However, the variation in fish production depends on several factors, among which the climatic factors, that need to be understood for ...

Morphology of the Zambezi River plume in the Sofala Bank, Mozambique
Western Indian Ocean Journal of Marine Science, 2015 In this paper, hydrographic data collected in the vicinity of the Zambezi River plume between 2004-2007 is discussed alongside historical data to infer the plume morphology. The sampling plan called for 73 CTD stations that were interspersed with sampling of shrimp recruitment.

Role of mesoscale eddies in the biogeochemistry of the Mozambique Channel
Frontiers in Marine ScienceThis study aims to characterize how eddies shape the biogeochemistry of the Mozambique Channel using a physical-biogeochemical model that realistically simulates its interannual dynamics.

Western Indian Ocean Journal of Marine Science, 2012 Vertical larval fish movement influences their survival and dispersal, hence recruitment variability. This study presents the vertical behaviour of gold-spot herring (Herklotsichthys quadrimaculatus) larvae observed on the Sofala Bank (Mozambique) throughout a 48-hour period when depth-stratified samples were taken every 2 h, together with CTD profiles,
