Altimeter sea surface height (SSH) fields are analyzed to define and discuss the seasonal circulation
over the wide continental shelf in the SW Atlantic Ocean (27°–43°S) during 2001–2012. Seasonal variability
is low south of the Rio de la Plata (RdlP), where winds and currents remain equatorward for most of
the...

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 SSS variability throughout the South Atlantic. The data reveal a well-defined
seasonal pattern of SSS during...
