What feeds shelf‐edge clinoforms over margins deprived of adjacent land sources? An example from southeastern Brazil
Abstract In southeastern Brazil, the Serra do Mar coastal mountain range blocks the
sediment influx from arriving at a ca. 1,500 km long continental margin comprising Santos …

A parametric model for the Brazil Current meanders and eddies off southeastern Brazil
L Calado, A Gangopadhyay… - Geophysical research …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
The eddies off of southeastern Brazil are unique in that their water‐mass composition is
made up of both upwelling waters and the southward flowing Brazil Current. We present a …

Persistent meanders and eddies lead to quasi-steady Lagrangian transport patterns in a weak western boundary current
Abstract The Brazil Current (BC) is a weak western boundary current flowing along the
Southwestern Atlantic Ocean. It is frequently described as a flow with intense mesoscale …
