The upper ocean circulation near the western margin of the South Atlantic Ocean is dominated by the southward flow of the warm and salty Brazil Current and the northward flow of the cold and relatively fresh Malvinas ...

This article presents the results of marine mammal occurrence at the Brazil-Malvinas Confluence in the Argentine Sea shelf break during a summer survey. A total of 61 marine mammal sightings were recorded. The most frequent ...

Twenty-five years of high-resolution (1/12°) ocean reanalysis are used to examine the Confluence of the Malvinas Current (MC) with the Brazil Current (BC) from synoptic to interannual time scales. The model transports of ...

Planktonic foraminifera census data have been widely used to reconstruct changes in ocean ecosystems as well as ocean chemistry and circulation through calibration functions. Here we analyse new core-top census data from ...

The collision of the warm and salty southward flowing Brazil Current and the cold and relatively fresh northward flowing Malvinas Current produces a strong frontal zone known as the Brazil—Malvinas Confluence Zone (BMCZ). ...

Analysis of the NCAR/NCEP Reanalysis show changes in the atmospheric circulation in the Southern hemisphere, with a strengthening and poleward displacement of the westerlies. Because the wind is one of the main sources of ...

Three year long current-meter arrays were deployed in the Malvinas Current at 418S below a satellite altimeter track at about 10 years intervals. Surface geostrophic velocities (SGV) derived from satel- lite altimetric ...
