Journal ArticleDOI
Subtropical shelf front off eastern south america
TL;DR: In this article, 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 40°S.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The evolution of ocean temperature measurement systems is presented with a focus on the development and accuracy of two critical devices in use today (expendable bathythermographs and conductivity-temperature-depth instruments used on Argo floats).
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of the Plata River discharge on the western South Atlantic shelf
TL;DR: In this article, historical hydrographic and wind data and numerical simulations are combined to determine the seasonal and interannual variability of the Plata plume and its relationship to the magnitude of the river discharge and the intensity and direction of the wind stress.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of river discharge and seasonal winds on the shelf off southeastern South America
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted two quasi-synoptic surveys in the region of Plata influence on the continental shelf and slope of southeastern South America, between Mar del Plata, Argentina and the northern coast of Santa Catarina, Brazil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intermediate waters in the southwest South Atlantic
TL;DR: In this article, low salinity water, derived from the Polar Front, is introduced into a still denser horizon (27.25 σ θ ), from along the axis of the cyclonic circulation feature described by the Malvinas Current and its return to the south.
