“…They also reported a negative correlation between surface salinity and the discharge of Patos Lagoon, especially during the winter period. Patos Lagoon, in southern Brazil, was also studied by Canever et al (2023), who investigated the relationships between cyanobacterial blooms in the estuarine region of the lagoon with atmospheric variables on scales ranging from weather to climate. The authors also used satellite-derived data (including chlorophyll concentration) and water level data to describe the influence of physical parameters in promoting the growth and accumulation of cyanobacteria inside Patos Lagoon.…”
