description abstract | An XBT survey and hydrographic sections between 19 and 25°S along the coast of Brazil in April of 1982 were used to locate the Brazil Current both north and south of the seamount chain at 20°30?S. The current appears to flow through the passage between the most inshore of the banks and not to the east. It is a continuous feature and, to the extent resolved by these measurements, is not characterized by meanders and eddies at these latitudes. Transport relative to 500 m (1000 m) was approximately 3.8 ? 106 m3 s?1 (6.8 ? 106 m3 s?1) and did not appear to increase downstream. | |
