Scientific paper

For the first time, eleven mini-CTD loggers were moored in the Veracruz Reef System during October and December months of 2004 to monitor ambiental parameters (pressure, temperature and salinity). In this study are presented the results computed from the temporal time-series of pressure, in order to define tide temporal and spatial behaviour. The predominant harmonics were the diurnal K1 and O1, followed by the semidiurnal M2 and S2. Also the lunar fortnightly constituent showed amplitudes comparable to the M2 harmonic. In general the amplitude of each harmonic remains homogeneous along the study area, thus bathymetric features seems not affect completelly this parameter of the tidal wave, oppositely the phase constituents of the tide showed notable differences along to the zone, this difference must be induced by bathymetric effects.
