The salinity signature of the cross-shelf exchanges in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean: Satellite observations

Creator:

Guerrero, Raul A., Piola, Alberto R., Fenco, Harold, Matano, Ricardo P., Combes, Vincent, Chao, Yi, James, Corinne, Palma, Elbio D., Saraceno, Martin, and Strub, P. Ted

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:

The Gulf Stream is a major conduit of warm surface water from the tropics to the subpolar North Atlantic. Here we observe and simulate a submesoscale (<20 km) mechanism by which the Gulf Stream exchanges water with subpolar water to the north. Along isopycnals, the front has a sharp compensated...
