This study focuses on the Amazon ISWs occurrence, their velocity/wavelength, and variability at seasonal cycles. The analysis is based on a data set composed of 71 MODIS/TERRA images, where more than 250 internal solitary wave (ISW) signatures were identified in the sun glint area. ISWs packets separated by typical mode-1 and mode-2 internal tides (ITs) wavelengths have been identified and mapped coming from si...

Cultural eutrophication is not solely a threat for the coastal ocean; it is now acting as one of its major biogeochemical and ecological driver. Along the littoral of the state of Rio de Janeiro, semi-enclosed marine bays and lagoons ...
