| The Confluence 3 cruise during February 1990 provides the first hydrographic survey of the Brazil-Malvinas Confluence region ever obtained with such a refined spatial resolution over the continental slope. The closely spaced stations on the slope permit the observation of the branching of the Malvinas Current near 40 degrees S. The eastern branch returns south, while the eastern one is squeezed along the continental slope, managing to continue northward as far north as 36.3 degrees S. The Brazil-Malvinas (B-M) front has a north-south orientation on the slope and an east-west direction offshore. The B-M front is marked by very strong gradients in temperature and salinity. Fine scale vertical structures and intrusions are numerous in the vicinity of the... |
