Coastal upwelling off Cape São Tomé (22 S, Brazil): The supporting role of deep ocean processes
The regional ocean off Cape São Tomé (CST, 22° S, Brazil) is known to feature transient
coastal upwelling and intense mesoscale activity associated with the Brazil Current (BC).
Satellite and in situ observations are used to characterize the coastal upwelling and the
oceanic pycnocline water intrusions onto the continental shelf. Coastal upwelling events
around CST are found to be less intense than the ones around Cape Frio (23° S), confirming
previously reported findings. It is shown that the quasi-standing growth of a BC cyclonic …
