A possible deepening of the ocean mixed layer is investigated at two selected points of the Patagonian continental shelf where a significant positive wind speed trend is estimated. Using a 1-dimensional vertical numerical ...

The Southeast South American shelf marine ecosystem extends over the entire continental shelf off the Eastern shores of Argentina, Uruguay and southeastern Brazil (23° to 55°S). The region south of 40ºS is usually known ...

We investigate the effect of the future sea level rise (SLR) on the propagation of tides in the Patagonian Shelf by means of numerical simulations. Using a barotropic implementation of the MARS model, we obtain solutions ...

The Patagonian shelf is one of the most productive and dynamic continental shelves of the world. Changes in the environmental conditions affect productivity, species population sizes, and community structure within the ...

The Patagonia continental shelf located off southeastern South America is bounded offshore by the Malvinas Current, which extends northward from northern Drake Passage (∼55deg; S) to nearly 38deg; S. The transition between ...

The Patagonian Shelf in the western South Atlantic is known for strong semidiurnal tides and intense seasonal stratification. Both observations and models reveal substantial cross-isobath tidal energy fluxes at the shelf ...

During the last decade, global tidal models have spectacularly improved. However, they still have difficulties in resolving tides over continental shelves and near coastlines. This study of tidal propagation from the ...

Six years (January 1998—December 2003) of SeaWiFS ocean color satellite data are used to estimate monthly climatological means and to present the near-surface chlorophyll-a seasonal evolution in the Patagonian Shelf. The ...
