Abstract

The southeastern continental margin of Brazil, north of Florianópolis, presents a unique feature, in terms of circulation. In that area, a system of currents with an inverse flow is developed (Brazil Current - Intermediate Western Boundary Current). The purpose of the project is to associate echo character patterns with this circulation system.
