Results of a full baroclinic prognostic model for the Rfa de Vigo are presented. The algorithm is an adapted version of the HAMSOM model, which is a three dimensional multi-level (z co-ordinate) finite difference baroclinic model. Its resolution, stability and speed allow inquiring into the properties of an idealised version of the system. and its response to different external actions. The separate and combined effects of both barotropic and baroclinic forcing are studied and quantitatively evaluated. Tidal dyna,nics, wind driven currents, residual circulation and thermohaline structure are modelled, and results compared to observations
