In this paper we present a literature survey of the South Atlantic's climate and its oceanic
upper-layer circulation and meridional heat transport. The opening section deals with …

The oceanic circulation over the southwestern Atlantic shelf is influenced by large tidal
amplitudes, substantial freshwater discharges, high wind speeds and–most importantly–by …

The mean vertical structure of mesoscale eddies in the Peru‐Chile Current System is
investigated by combining the historical records of Argo float profiles and satellite altimetry …

Historical hydrographic data from the continental shelf off eastern South America are used to
examine the thermohaline properties of the water masses in the region between 20° S and …

A conductivity‐temperature‐depth and tracer chemistry section in the southeast South
Atlantic in December 1989 and January 1990 presents strong evidence that there is a …

Numerous studies use major element concentrations measured on continental margin
sediments to reconstruct terrestrial climate variations. The choice and interpretation of …

A hydrographic survey on board the German ship FS Victor Hensen was carried out in
Brazilian coastal waters between Santos (23° 56'S) and Rio de Janeiro (22° 54'S) from …

The density (sigma-theta, σ θ) interval 27.05–27.20 in the Subantarctic Zone of the northern
Drake Passage is characterized by two water types with potential temperatures of 3.7 and …

Gravity driven mass-flow deposits proven by sedimentary and digital echosounder data are
indicative for prevailing dynamic sedimentary conditions along the continental margin of the …
