The influence of the Brazil and Malvinas Currents on the Southwestern Atlantic Shelf Circulation
(Copernicus Publications, 2010-11)
The oceanic circulation over the southwestern Atlantic shelf is influenced by large tidal amplitudes, substantial freshwater discharges, high wind speeds and – most importantly – by its proximity to two of the largest ...
Circulation and Cross-Shelf Exchanges in the Northern Shelf Region of the Southwestern Atlantic: Kinematics
(Blackwell Publishing, 2021-04)
A high-resolution ocean model is used to characterize the circulation and cross-shelf exchanges in the Brazilian/Uruguayan portion of the southwestern Atlantic shelf. Cross-shelf exchanges are strongly modulated by the ...
Circulation and cross-shelf exchanges in the Malvinas Islands Shelf region
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-11)
The Malvinas Islands Shelf (MIS) encompasses one of the most productive portions of the southwestern Atlantic. Large phytoplankton blooms, which constitute the base of the marine food web, emerge from the northern sector ...
The Río de la Plata plume dynamics over the Southwestern Atlantic Continental Shelf and its link with the large scale atmospheric variability on interannual timescales
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
The interannual variability of the Río de la Plata plume over the Southwestern Atlantic Continental Shelf is analyzed based on the global ocean reanalysis ORAP5.0 and the global atmospheric reanalysis Era-Interim for the ...
On the Wind Contribution to the Variability of Ocean Currents Over Wide Continental Shelves: A Case Study on the Northern Argentine Continental Shelf
(Blackwell Publishing, 2019-09)
The southwestern Atlantic Ocean has one of the largest and most productive continental shelves of the southern hemisphere. Despite its relevance, its circulation patterns have been largely inferred from hydrographic ...
The salinity signature of the cross-shelf exchanges in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean: Satellite observations
(Wiley, 2014-10)
Satellite-derived sea surface salinity (SSS) data from Aquarius and SMOS are used to study the shelf-open ocean exchanges in the western South Atlantic near 35°S. Away from the tropics, these exchanges cause the largest ...
Structure, abundance and biomass size spectra of copepods and other zooplankton communities in upper waters of the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean during summer
(Oxford University Press, 2013-05)
Little attention has been paid to small copepods and other zooplankton inhabiting pelagic ecosystems of the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean under the influence of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current circulation, despite their ...
Physical Oceanography of the SW Atlantic Shelf: A review
(Springer, 2018)
The continental shelf of the western South Atlantic is characterized by three regions subject to distinct oceanographic regimes. The wide subantarctic shelf, south of approximately 35°S is occupied by cold, low salinity ...
Are wind wave heights increasing in south-eastern south American continental shelf between 321S and 401S?
(Elsevier, 2010-03)
In this paper, a possible increase in wind wave heights in the south-eastern south American continental shelf between 32°S and 40°S is investigated. Both time series of in situ (1996–2006) and topex (1993–2001) annual mean ...
Modeling transport and retention of Engraulis anchoita Hubbs & Marini, 1935 (Clupeiformes, Engraulidae) early life stages along the Central Southwestern Atlantic Continental ShelfModelagem do transporte e retenção dos estágios iniciais da Engraulis anchoita Hubbs & Marini, 1935 (Clupeiformes, Engraulidae) na plataforma continental do Atlântico Sudoeste.
(Panamjas, 2007-12)
Recruitment of pelagic fish is the result of a group of processes that affect their entire life cycle. Most of the variability in pelagic fish natural mortality is thought to occur during the early life stages of development, ...
