South of the Vitória-Trindade Ridge, a seamount chain off East Brazil, Brazil Current (BC) meanders cyclonically within Tubarão Bight, occasionally forming Vitória Eddy. It was recently found that Intermediate Western Boundary (IWBC), which flows equatorward below BC, recirculate Bight. We present an analysis AVISO observations suggest Eddy formation is conditioned by strength BC upstream A wea...

Tropical cyclones (TC), which are among the most destructive natural phenomena on Earth, have significant impacts western boundary current (WBC). We quantify direct impact of TCs surface geostrophic velocity Kuroshio, WBC in North Pacific, by analyzing satellite-derived data and using results from theoretical numerical models. The study reveals that decrease 14 cm s−1 is 16% mean Kuroshio (85 s...
