This work describes the circulation over the continental slope and the São Paulo Plateau in
the Santos Basin during the SANSED winter 2019 survey. The cruise consisted of four legs …

The southern branch of the South Equatorial Current (SSEC) is the northern limit of the
South Atlantic Subtropical Gyre. When this current reaches Brazil around 14° S it bifurcates …

Geostrophic currents derived from altimetry are used to investigate the surface circulation in
the western tropical Atlantic over the 1993–2017 period. Using six horizontal sections …

The Atlantic subtropical anticyclone and the antarctic circumpolar current drive the upper
oceanographic circulation in the Southwest Atlantic. The large-scale flow field comprises the …

Existe limitada e esparsa informação na literatura sobre a Corrente do Brasil, a corrente de
contorno que fecha o Giro Subtropical do Atlântico Sul em sua borda oeste. Neste artigo …

Abstract Flow-Topography Interaction can be considered as a particular set of processes
resulting of the currents interaction with a topographic gradient, specially associated with …

The seasonal variability of current velocities in the tropical Atlantic was studied by grouping
ship drift velocity observations into 2°× 5° boxes and calculating monthly mean velocity …

This chapter presents an overview of the water masses and oceanic circulation of the
Brazilian Continental Margin (BCM) and the adjacent abyssal plain. Six major water masses …

Santos Basin is located on the western border of the South Atlantic Ocean, between
latitudes of 23° S and 28° S along the Brazilian shelf. It will probably be one of the new …

Abstract We describe the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) A23 hydrographic
section from Antarctica to Brazil, nominally along 35W. The section crossed the center of the …
