Wind driven currents in the channel of São Sebastião: winter, 1979

Abstract: Simultaneous 40 h low-passed wind, current and sea level data in the Channel of São Sebastião (CSS) and atmospheric pressure and sea level data in the South Brazil Bight (SBB) during winter of 1979 were analysed and compared. Currents in the CSS were predominantly northeastward, associated with frontal southerly winds. Current reversals occurred between meteorological disturbance passages. There were significant correlation between alongchannel components of wind and current, with a time lag of 12-18 h, wind l… Show more

“…On the synoptic weather scale, meteorological disturbances, through mechanisms of ocean-atmosphere interaction, are sources of energy and movement especially in the shallow areas of the coastal zone (Castro, 1990). Among the disorders, the passage of frontal systems is the most relevant in determining the variability of the circulation pattern in SBCS, making the shear strength of the wind one of the most important low frequency mechanisms in the coastal circulation (Stech & Lorenzzetti, 1992).…”

“…No entanto, os níveis de contaminação da coluna d'água em torno de emissários paulistas foram de médios a baixos 22 , enquanto alguma toxicidade foi observada, sendo atribuída à amônia, partículas, cloro e outros contaminantes 12,23 . 26 . Observando conjuntamente os índices de trofia (IT), os nutrientes e a biomassa fitoplanctônica, como clorofila-a, obtidos por esses autores (Tabela 1) e por Frazão 18 , é possível identificar diferentes fontes de eutrofização nessas áreas costeiras, sendo que a maioria está relacionada à disposição de efluentes urbanos via emissários e a contribuição estuarina.…”
