Abstract
A vertical slice numerical model is presented that produces both diabathic and parabathic current profiles for stratified coastal waters. The model, using observations of density field, the wind stress and bottom topography with the assumption of a quadratic bottom friction, reproduces the salient observed features of the nearshore currents. Driven by wind, density and Coriolis forces the model reaches a steady state rapidly and successfully simulates the continously stratified case of Nicaraguan coastal waters.
