This work describes the circulation over continental slope and São Paulo Plateau in Santos Basin during SANSED winter 2019 survey. The cruise consisted of four legs period between June, 11 August, 03 2019. observed is dominated by Atlantic southwestern boundary current regime remotely-generated anticyclones cyclones. former composed Brazil Current, Intermediate Western Boundary Current their mesoscale meanders; latter are 300km vortical rings with origin eastern side South Basin.

The Brazil Current (BC) is a western boundary current, with an average vertical extension of 500 m, which occupies the southwestern margin Atlantic Ocean. Recently, South Bight - SBB (23º S 28º S) has been intensively explored by oil and gas industries, brought high demand in operational oceanography ocean state monitoring. In this study we present new technique based on dynamic modes oscillation, to extrapolate velocity profiles SBB, potential applications data acquired Vessel Mounted...
The South Brazil Bight is a section of the Brazilian margin mainly dominated by poleward Current flow, their meanderings and eddies. We evaluated mean mesoscale for region, an anticyclonic feature was highlighted over São Paulo Plateau. Around that feature, cyclonic eddies were also accentuated. combination these structures dominate forming eddy corridor. Using detection dataset, we reveal signal on plateau directly related to presence anticyclones. cyclones in region present both local...
