B.S. in Physics from the Instituto de Física da Universidade de São Paulo (1986) and Ph.D. in Physical Oceanography from the University of Rhode Island (1997). Has experience in physical oceanography and remote sensing, more specifically on altimeter and scatterometer data analysis, Rossby waves, air-sea interaction, and digital filters.

The South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (SAMOC) is an ocean circulation pattern composed by geostrophic and ageostrophic currents and its subsequent transport of heat and freshwater. It mainly impacts ocean stratification since density regulates the vertical distribution of water masses and its horizontal gradients are responsible for the deep geostrophic circulation. Rossby…
Equatorial planetary waves are found in all three ocean basins, in a small range of about 6 degrees north and south of the Equator. Typically, its period vary from 15 to 90 days, lengths vary from 1000 to 2000 km and phase speeds vary from 25 to 100 km/day. They are forced by the instability of strong equatorial currents and manifest themselves as predominantly southern oscillations or se…
The upper branch of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, in the equatorial area, is mostly contained in the western boundary as the North Brazil Current. Downstream that current, there are two main pathways, a long one through North Equatorial Counter Current, and a short one that includes the North Brazil Current Rings. Half of the inter-hemisphere transport is accounted to t…

Rossby waves play a key role in large-scale circulation, controlling the western boundary currents. In a baroclinic model they are prone to variability when changes in stratification occurs. In the present study these waves were identified at 11\oS, 24.5\oS~and 34.5\oS~in Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans. We noted that waves' amplitude varied significantly among the three basins, and w…
