Integrated marine gravity field in the Brazilian coast from altimeter-derived sea surface gradient and shipborne gravity
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2010)
Sea surface gradients derived from the Geosat and ERS-1 satellite altimetry geodetic missions were integrated with marine gravity data from the National Geophysical Data Center and Brazilian national surveys. Using the ...
Sea surface height trend and variability at seasonal and interannual time scales in the Southeastern South American continental shelf between 271S and 401S
(Elsevier, 2014-12)
Recent improvements in satellite altimetry data correction terms are encouraging studies of the remote sensed Sea Level Anomalies (SLA) progressively closer to the coast and over shallow continental shelves. In this paper ...
Global interannual trends and amplitude modulations of the sea surface height anomaly from the TOPEX/Jason-1 altimeters
(AMER METEOROLOGICAL SOC, 2008)
This study uses the global Ocean Topography Experiment (TOPEX)/Jason-1 altimeters` time series to estimate the 13-yr trend in sea surface height anomaly. These trends are estimated at each grid point by two methods: one ...
Coastal applications from nadir altimetry: Example of the X-TRACK regional products
(Elsevier, 2017-02)
In the coastal ocean zones, satellite altimetry data processing and interpretation poses specific difficulties, due to the interaction of the radar signal with land topography, inaccuracies in some of the geophysical ...
Events of equatorward translation of the Vitoria Eddy
(2013)
The Vitoria Eddy (VE) is a cyclone in the Brazil Current (BC) formed immediately to the south of the Vitoria–Trindade Ridge. Using altimetric derived SSH and outputs of a regional ocean model, we show evidences that once ...
Tide model comparison over the Southwestern Atlantic Shelf
(Elsevier, 2010-10)
Sea surface height (SSH) as measured by satellites has become a powerful tool for oceanographic and climate related studies. Whereas in the open ocean good accuracy has been achieved, more energetic dynamics and a number ...
Comparison of tide model outputs for the northern region of the Antarctic Peninsula using satellite altimeters and tide gauge data
(Elsevier, 2014-03)
This study compares the common harmonic constants of the O1, K1, P1, Q1, M2, S2, N2, and K2 tidal constituents from eight global and four regional tide models with harmonic constants from satellite altimeter and tide gauge ...
Sea waves generated by extratropical cyclones in the South Atlantic Ocean: Hindcast and validation against altimeter data
(Amer Meteorological Soc, 2004-04-01)
This work presents analyses of the atmospheric conditions and the hindcast of the surface wave field when six extratropical cyclones formed and displaced over the South Atlantic Ocean (10degreesN, 60degreesS; 75degreesW, ...
The early rainy season in Central America: the role of thetropical North Atlantic SSTs
(2016)
We explored the relationship between the precipitation anomalies during May to June as the first peak of the rainy season in the Pacific slope of Central America, and sea surface temperature (SST) fluctuations in the ...
