Creator:

Matano, Ricardo P., Simionato, C. G., de Ruijter, W. P., van Leeween, P. J., Strub, P. Ted, Chelton, Dudley B., and Schlax, M. G.

Abstract:

The objective of this article is to present evidence for the existence of seasonal variability in sea surface height (SSH) anomaly in the Agulhas Retroflection region. TOPEX/POSEIDON altimeter data are used to estimate seasonal changes in the mesoscale SSH variability. There is a seasonal oscillation of SSH variability characterized by...

Abstract:

The circulation of the southwestern Atlantic Ocean is dominated by the Subtropical Gyre and the confluence of the Brazil and Malvinas currents. Observations indicate that the latitude of this confluence changes seasonally, lying farther north during the austral winter than during the summer. This phenomenon has important consequences for the...
