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... |

Two approaches of ocean color data merging were tested and compared in the North and Equatorial Atlantic Basin: the weighted averaging and the objective analysis. The datasets used were the daily level-3 binned data of chlorophyll-a from the Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) and Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer on the Aqua satellite over the year 2003, which is the first common full year of operation. Since they represent input for both approaches, matchups between the satellite and the in situ data from the SeaWiFS Bio-optical Archive and Storage System and the Atlantic Meridional Transect were first studied to compute a spatial map of the root mean-square error and of the bias. Because of the log distribution of the chlorophyll... |
