Contribuição ao estudo das correntes marinhas na plataforma entre Cabo Frio e Cananéia Contribution to the study of coastal currents between Cabo Frio and Cananéia

Abstract

Current, temperature and salinity data from two sections and 13 days time series are analysed. Additional data from other efforts are summarized with other contributions yielding a tentative winter surface circulation model of the area. From the summary, mechanisms of the upwelling at Cabo Frio are suggested.
