ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SAN MATÍAS GULF OBTAINED FROM LANDSAT-TM AND ETM+ DATA

The San Matías Gulf, located between 40 47' S and 42 13' S on the Atlantic coast of South America, with an area of approximately 18 000 km², is the second largest in Argentina. This gulf has been studied by means of historical data obtained in oceanographic campaigns carried out before 199...
