Abstract:: 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...

Abstract:: 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...

Abstract:: This article discusses the results of a suite of numerical simulations of the oceanic circulation in the Southwestern Atlantic Shelf region that are aimed to characterize its mean circulation and seasonal variability and to determine the dynamical mechanisms controlling them. Our experiments indicate that south of 40°S the mean circulation...

Abstract:: This article analyzes the barotropic circulation in the Southwestern Atlantic Shelf using a three-dimensional numerical model forced with winds and tides. South of 40°S, the shelf circulation is dominated by the propagation of the semidiurnal tides. In this region the diurnal tides are generally weak, except at the shelf edge...

Abstract:: The influence of the Plata, the second largest river in South America, extends along a coastal strip of 1300 km. Historical hydrographic and wind data and numerical simulations are combined to determine the seasonal and interannual variability of the Plata plume and its relationship to the magnitude of the river...
