Observations show abrupt changes in the oceanic circulation of the southwestern Atlantic. These
studies report a southward drift of the Brazil/Malvinas Confluence (BMC) and a change in the spectral
characteristics of the Malvinas Current (MC) transport. We address the cause of these changes using the result
of a high-resolution numerical...
This article presents the results of a high-resolution (1/12°), two-way nested simulation of the
oceanic circulation in the southwestern Atlantic region. A comparison between the model results and
extant observations indicates that the nested model has skill in reproducing the best-known aspects of the
regional circulation, e.g., the volume transport...
The Southeast Pacific, which encompasses the coasts of Peru and Chile, is one of the world's most productive regions resulting principally from the upwelling of subsurface nutrient-rich waters. Over the satellite altimetry era, there have been numerous evidence that surface mesoscale eddies play an important role in the offshore transport...
Located approximately 360 nm off the coast of Chile there is a disjoint realm of two small
oceanic islands systems, the Juan Fernández and the Desventuradas archipelago. Currently the local economy
of the islands is almost exclusively supported by the harvest and trade of marine resources, focusing mainly on
the...
The low-frequency dynamics of coastal upwelling and cross-shelf transport in the Central and Southern California Current System (CCS) are investigated using the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) over the period 1965-2008. An ensemble of passive tracers released in the numerical model is used to characterize the effects of linear (Ekman...
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...

In situ, reduction of Cp*ReO₃ by PPh₃ to form (Cp*ReO)₂(μ-O)₂ allows catalytic deoxygenation of epoxides, however, conproportionation between Reⱽ and Reⱽᴵᴵ species to form clusters of ((Cp*Re)₃(μ-O)₆}²⁺(ReO₄⁻)2 and new compound {(Cp*Re)₃(μ²-O)₃(μ³-O⁾³ReO₃}⁺(ReO₄⁻) leads to removal of rhenium from the catalytic cycle and loss of activity, The epoxide deoxygenation mediated by (Cp*ReO)₂(μ-O)₂...
The three-dimensional structure and the origin of mesoscale anticyclonic
intrathermocline eddies (ITEs) in the coastal transition zone (CTZ) off central Chile (31–41°S) were analyzed through the combination of data from oceanographic cruises and
satellite altimetry, and the application of an eddy-resolving primitive equation ocean model
coupled with a numerical experiment...
The possibility of synthesizing 1, 8-naphthyridines by the Doebner reaction has appeared in many reports. The method involves the introduction of electron releasing groups in the 6-position of 2-amino pyridine to activate the C-3 position. Previously Lewis used 6-methyl-2-amino pyridine with benzaldehyde and pyruvic acid, in an attempt to prepare...
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...
