  abstract = {{T}he physical influence of sea tides on the lower reaches of the {A}mazon {R}iver can be identified more than 1000 km upstream from the sea. {A}nalysis of upstream tidal wave propagation on the {A}mazon {R}iver contributes to the understanding of the hydrodynamics of the lower reaches and to the quantification of the influence of sea level on sedimentation rates. {C}ontinuous over-the-year recording of water levels has been undertaken at eight locations along the lower reaches of the {A}mazon {R}iver and flow measurement campaigns have been organized for different river discharge rates (100000 m(3) s(-1), 190 000 m(3), s(-1) and 250 000 m(3) s(-1)) and sea-tide amplitudes (2-3.5 m). {D}amping, time-delay and deformation of the tidal wave signals, depending on water regimes and distances from the sea, have been analyzed. {T}he physical processes of wave propagation and cyclic water storage and release have been investigated both through data analysis and the application of mathematical hydrodynamic models. {T}he impact of tidal pulses on sediment transport to the sea has been assessed.},
