Evidence of upwelling events at the northern Patagonian shelf break
(American Geophysical Union, 2015-11)
The Patagonian shelf break marks a transition between relative warm-fresh shelf waters and relative cold-salty Subantarctic Water advected northward by the Malvinas Current. From early spring to late autumn, the outer shelf ...
Wind modulation of upwelling at the shelf-break front off Patagonia: Observational evidence
(American Geophysical Union, 2017-03)
The South-Atlantic Patagonian shelf is the largest chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) hot spot in Southern Ocean color images. While a persistent 1500 km long band of high Chl-a along the shelf-break front (SBF) is indicative of ...
The Patagonian scallop fishing grounds in shelf break frontal areas: the non assessed benthic fraction
(Pontificia Universidad Católica de Valparaíso<BR>Facultad de Recursos Naturales<BR>Escuela de Ciencias del Mar, 2011)
The shelf edge: characterization and significance of the shelf-slope break threshold for the infilling of the mid-Jurassic Neuquén Basin, Argentina
(Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos, 2020-04-13)
Sedimentary wedges that build out from the margin of deep-water basins often exhibit large-scale (hundreds of meters), topset-foreset clinoform geometries. Deepwater basins therefore have a shelf-margin morphology of flat ...

Effects of drill cuttings discharge on meiofauna communities of a shelf break site in the southwest Atlantic
(SPRINGER, 2010)
The present study investigates the effects of drill cutting discharges on the structure of meiofauna communities in an area of the shelf break at Campos Basin, Southeast Brazil. Drilling activities were operated, in a first ...
Physical processes controlling passive larval transport at the Patagonian Shelf Break Front
(Elsevier Science, 2017-06)
The largest beds of the Patagonian scallop (Zygochlamys patagonica) have been associated with high chlorophyll-a concentration observed along the Patagonian Shelf Break Front but there is no supported hypothesis about how ...
Variability of the subtropical shelf front off eastern South America: Winter 2003 and summer 2004
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2008)
Hydrographic data collected during surveys carried out in austral winter 2003 and summer 2004 are used to analyze the distributions of temperature (T) and salinity (S) over the continental shelf and slope of eastern South ...
Disentangling the upwelling mechanisms of the South Brazil Bight
(Elsevier, 2009-04)
This article presents a suite of long-term numerical simulations that investigate the dynamical mechanisms controlling the circulation in the South Brazil Bight (SBB). The overarching goal of these simulations is to quantify ...
Coastal and shelf circulation in the vicinity of Camamu Bay (14 degrees S), Eastern Brazilian Shelf
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2011)
The Camamu Bay (CMB) is located on the narrowest shelf along the South American coastline and close to the formation of two major Western Boundary Currents (WBC), the Brazil/North Brazil Current (BC/NBC). These WBC flow ...
