New scietific production from ATMOS Project, leaded by LOA: "The southwestern Atlantic Ocean mesoscale eddies: A review of their role in the air-sea interaction processes"

The article "The southwestern Atlantic Ocean mesoscale eddies: A review of their role in the air-sea interaction processes" (authors: Mylene Cabrera, Marcelo Santini, Luciana S.Lima, Jonas T. Carvalho, Eliana B.Rosa, Celina Rodrigues e Luciano P. Pezzi) was published on the international journal "Journal of Marine Science".

The study presents a revision of the role of mesoscale oceanic eddies on the atmosphere-ocean processes and also with circundant waters. This paper focus on studies developed on Southern Atlanctic Ocean.

3D schematic representation of a warm core eddy (WCE, a) and a cold core eddy (CCE, b) observed in the southwestern Atlantic Ocean on October 15th, 2013. The black arrows represent the counterclock- wise (clockwise) surface currents for a WCE (CCE) in the Southern Hemisphere. The blue dash-dotted lines represent the isopycnals corresponding with the depth illustrated by the black dash-dotted lines. Schematic figure adapted from Robinson (2010).
