The proposed research aims at a better understanding of the interannual variability of the heat content and meridional transports across 34.5S, a zonal section referred as SAMBA (the South Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (SAMOC) Basin-wide Array). It will investigate impacts of global changes on the ocean and the feedback of changes in the South Atlantic Circulation on the Reg…
The monitoring of the marine environment is fundamental (a) from the operational marine and maritime perspective, (b) to assess the evolution of the health of our oceans and (c) to better understand how the oceans control the climate of our planet at local, regional and global scales. Offshore facilities can be principal elements to carry out such monitoring, as they may be used to instal…
This project has different purposes within the international research devoted to climate variability and change. The most relevant one is to develop a monitoring array in the South Atlantic, within a broad international partnership, to continue a time series started in 2004, south of Africa, in 2008 in the Drake Passage, and on the eastern and western boundaries of the South Atlantic. The…

The main objective is to conduct a detailed investigation of eventual changes in the ocean circulation in the South Atlantic, associated with changes in the circulation pattern known as the Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC), and the consequent impacts on climate, from regional to global scales. The work will be based on the analysis of model outputs, in situ data collected as part …
This postdoctoral project is presented within the context of the Thematic Project Interannual Variability of the Meridional Transports across the SAMOC Basin-wide Array (SAMBAR), funded by the FAPESP. It is proposed the investigation of the physical processes associated with the impacts of the South Atlantic Dipole (SAD) on both the atmospheric circulation and precipitation in the South A…
The climatic conditions in northern and northeastern Brazil, and much of South America, are related to ocean-atmospheric interactions in the Tropical Atlantic. These interactions in the tropics are in turn affected by signals originated in extra-tropical regions, transported by ocean currents through the subsurface. Studies with low resolution coupled models show, for example, that the po…

The meridional overturning circulation (MOC) is a primary mechanism for the transport and storage of heat, freshwater and carbon by the ocean and, therefore, has a large impact on climate variability and change. Alterations in the MOC have been linked to past climate variations, including abrupt changes caused by a slowing of the MOC. The Atlantic MOC (AMOC) consists of two vertical cells…
The global Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) carries out an important role on the Earth's climate system and on the heat distribution all over the world. In its superficial branch, warm waters are exchanged throughout the world's ocean basins. The Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) and the Agulhas leakage are the main processes responsible, respectively, for importing Pacific waters into…
The northward heat transfer by the Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) is one of the main mechanisms that drive Earth's climate. Current knowledge in relation to and their mechanisms have been described primarily through robust numerical models. Recent studies suggest that easterly trade winds have strengthened, causing warm water to pile up in the western Pacific, the water seeps be…
