Uncoupled changes in phytoplankton biomass and size structure in the western tropical Atlantic

Gabriel Bittencourt Farias et al.

Summary: This study reveals that the thermohaline structure plays a predominant role in phytoplankton dynamics in the Southwestern Tropical Atlantic, regardless of seasonal changes. While the biomass increase in fall was significantly promoted by the shallowing of the thermocline and nutricline, with a 3-fold higher increase observed around oceanic islands.

Near-surface western boundary circulation off Northeast Brazil

Alina N. Dossa et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the meridional evolution of the near-surface western boundary circulation in the tropical Atlantic Ocean, specifically investigating the North Brazil Undercurrent (NBUC). Results show that the NBUC's velocity, transport, and vertical extent varied between spring 2015 and fall 2017, reflecting differences in current speed and direction along the coast. The impact of mesoscale eddies on the circulation pattern was also analyzed.

Spatial patterns in planktonic cnidarian distribution in the western boundary current system of the tropical South Atlantic Ocean

Everton Giachini Tosetto et al.

Summary: This study reveals the dominance of oceanic cnidarian species in coastal regions of the Western Tropical South Atlantic, driven by strong currents in marine western boundary systems. The typical oceanic cnidarian community, dominated by holoplanktonic siphonophores, extends from the Fernando de Noronha Chain to the narrow continental shelf.

Surface Circulation and Vertical Structure of Upper Ocean Variability Around Fernando de Noronha Archipelago and Rocas Atoll During Spring 2015 and Fall 2017

Alex Costa da Silva et al.

Summary: Based on oceanographic cruises conducted in spring 2015 and fall 2017, it was found that the oceanic circulation near the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago and Rocas Atoll off Northeast Brazil exhibits significant seasonal variations and island wake effects. The presence of islands not only disrupts the characteristics of the central South Equatorial Current and South Equatorial Undercurrent, but also influences temperature, salinity, and biogeochemistry.
