On the Upwelling of Downwelling Currents

Creator:

Matano, Ricardo P. and Palma, Elbio D.

Abstract:

The term “downwelling currents” refers to currents with a downslope mass flux in the bottom boundary layer. Examples are the Malvinas and Southland Currents in the Southern Hemisphere and the Oyashio in the Northern Hemisphere. Although many of these currents generate the same type of highly productive ecosystems that is...

A numerical study of the Southwestern Atlantic Shelf circulation : stratified ocean response to local and offshore forcing

Creator:

Palma, Elbio D., Matano, Ricardo P., and Piola, Alberto R.

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...
