ON THE COVER
A high concentration of suspended particulate matter (SPM) in the Gulf
of San Jorge near Cape Tres Puntas captured on August 31, 2015, in a
MODIS Aqua true color (Bands 1, 4, and 3; 500 m resolution) satellite
image. During periods when the SPM concentration is high in the
water column, the coastal circulation can be identified through the
spatial configuration of SPM. This satellite image reveals the coastal
low-salinity/high SPM waters originating from the Strait of Magellan,
Santa Cruz River, and Puerto Deseado Estuary flowing to the north
and reaching the southern area of the gulf, where a physically and
biologically important tidal front develops. Source: NASA Worldview
