  abstract = {{T}he {G}ulf of {T}onkin, situated in the {S}outh {C}hina {S}ea, is a zone of strong ecological, touristic and economic interest {I}mproving our knowledge of its hydro-sedimentary processes is of great importance to the sustainable development of the area. {T}he scientific objective of this study is to revisit the dominant physical processes that characterize tidal dynamics in the {G}ulf of {T}onkin using a high-resolution model and combination of all available data. {P}articular attention is thus given to model-data cross-examination using tidal gauges and coastal satellite altimetry and to model calibration derived from a set of sensitivity experiments to model parameters. {T}he tidal energy budget of the gulf (energy flux and dissipation) is then analyzed and its resonance properties are evaluated and compared with idealized models and observations. {T}hen, the tidal residual flow in both {E}ulerian and {L}agrangian frameworks is evaluated. {F}inally, the problem of tidal frontogenesis is addressed to explain the observed summer frontal structures in chlorophyll concentrations.},
