After a brief discussion of meteorological methods used in the Antarctic, the paper gives an outline of a coordinated international research project whose objective is to set up a wind profiler radar station that would ...

The Brazilian coast is characterized by different tidal regimes and distinct meteorological influences. The northern part has larger tidal amplitudes and is permanently affected by trade winds and tropical disturbances; the ...

The circulation and stratification in the shallow semi-enclosed bay of Paracas located downstream of the main upwelling cell off the Peruvian coast were studied during the summer season using a regional circulation model ...

The response of the equatorial and South American coastal ocean circulation to the anomalous March 2002 wind jet extending from the Gulf of Panama to 6° S is studied in a linear ocean model. Two experiments were performed: ...

The inner shelf circulation on the Abrolhos Bank is investigated using four years (2002–2005) of moored current and bottom pressure observations from two sites in conjunction with wind data from a nearby meteorological ...

© 2019 The AuthorsSatellite and atmospheric model fields are used to describe the wind forcing, surface ocean circulation, temperature and chlorophyll-a pigment concentrations along the coast of southern Chile in the ...
