On coastal currents off Tehuantepec
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 1989Abstract The Gulf of Tehuantepec is of particular oceanographic interest because it is one of the few places in the world where intense winds, known as Tehaunos, blow normal to shore in events of a few days duration. A short experiment with floats deployed within a few kilometres off the coast during one of these events, indicates that a remarkably ...

Tectonic evolution of the Tehuantepec Ridge
Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 2005Abstract The Tehuantepec Ridge is one of the most prominent lithospheric structures of the Cocos Plate, yet its tectonic evolution has remained poorly constrained until now. Calculated ocean floor ages and spreading rates, morphostructural analysis of the ridge and the surrounding ocean floor are used to infer the tectonic evolution and pattern of ...

Gulf of Tehuantepec Wind-Jet Response
1990Abstract : The objective of this study was to observe the response of the upper ocean to the strong (greater than 20 knots) wind jet that intermittently blows seaward over the Gulf of Tehuantepec (Pacific coast of southern Mexico) during winter. The jet results from atmospheric high pressure systems over the Gulf of Mexico being confined by the Sierra ...
