• Abstract

  A better understanding of coupled atmosphere-ocean interactions has long been recognized as having the most potential to improve prediction climate and weather. The role of these interactions in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean (SAO), however, is not well understood. The SAO is the birthplace of cyclones, cold fronts passage and blocking activity. Further study is required to understand ho…

• Abstract

  Residual tidal currents occur associated with co-oscillation tide on the continental shelf. They may be important in the transport of volume or substances dissolved or suspended in seawater and they should be quantified in the developing environmental studies in coastal areas, because they may advect perennial dissolved pollutants. The scientific hypothesis of this proposal is that the re…

• Abstract

  Internal waves are ondulatory movements that occur within the water column associated with density stratification. Those waves with tide frequency are called internal tides. These are intense flows that can influence several patterns such as: sediment dynamics, mixing processes and primary productivity. The Amazon Shelf (AS) is a highly energetic environment located in the north Brazil co…
