Abstract The Brazil Current (BC) has been reported as eddy-dominated, with recurrent
formation of eddies and meanders along the margin. In this study, we characterize the …

The most conspicuous oceanographic features off Southeast Brazil are the quasi-stationary
eddies formed off Capes São Tomé (CSTE) and Frio (CFE) associated with the Brazil …

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 …

Recent studies suggest that the South Brazil Bight (SBB) hosts strong westward propagating
mesoscale eddies. We use 28 years of satellite altimetry data and a new Eddy Atlas to …

We investigate the dynamics of meso-and submesoscale features of the northern South
Brazil Bight shelf region with a 500-m horizontal resolution regional model. We focus on the …

To understand the main environmental factors controlling the benthic foraminiferal
distribution along continental slopes, and corroborate paleoenvironmental interpretations …

The complex topography of submarine canyons may result in different composition of
benthic foraminifera assemblages. To understand how trophic, hydrological and …

Abstract At 20.5° S, the Brazil Current and the Intermediate Western Boundary Current
interact with a quasi‐zonal seamount chain, the Vitória‐Trindade Ridge (VTR). While the …

Abstract Northwestward‐propagating North Brazil Current (NBC) Rings are often destroyed
upon reaching the Caribbean islands, carrying South Atlantic waters into the North Atlantic …

Mesoscale dynamics is essential to understanding the physical and biological processes of
the coastal ocean regions due to its ability to modulate water properties. However, on the …
