    • Biophysical model of coral population connectivity in the Arabian/Persian Gulf 

      Cavalcante, Geórgenes H.; Vieira, Filipe; Mortensen, Jonas; Ben-Hamadou, Radhouane; Range, Pedro; Goergen, Elizabeth; Campos, Edmo; Riegl, Bernhard (Elsevier, 2020)
      The coral reef ecosystems of the Arabian/Persian Gulf (the Gulf ) are facing profound pressure from climate change (extreme temperatures) and anthropogenic (land-use and population-related) stressors. Increasing degradation ...
    • Freshwater budget in the Persian (Arabian) Gulf and exchanges at the Strait of Hormuz 

      Campos, Edmo; Gordon, Arnold L.; Kjerfve, Bjorn; Vieira, Filipe; Cavalcante, Geórgenes H. (PLOS, 2020-05-29)
      Excess evaporation within the Persian (also referred as the Arabian) Gulf induces an inverse-estuary circulation. Surface waters are imported, via the Strait of Hormuz, while saltier waters are exported in the deeper layers. ...
    • Highly variable upper and abyssal overturning cells in the South Atlantic 

      Kersale, Marion; Meinen, Christopher S.; Perez, Renellys C.; Le Henaff, Matthieu; Valla, Daniel; Lamont, Tarron; Sato, Olga; Dong, Shenfu; Terre, Thierry; van Caspel, Mathias; Chidichimo, Maria Paz; van den Berg, Marcel; Speich, Sabrina; Piola, Alberto; Campos, Edmo; Ansorge, Isabelle; Volkov, Denis; Lumpkin, Rick; Garzoli, Silvia (American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2020-08-05)
      The Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) is a primary mechanism driving oceanic heat redistribution on Earth, thereby affecting Earth's climate and weather. However, the full-depth structure and variability of the MOC ...
    • Memory Effect of the Southern Atlantic Subtropical Dipole 

      Santis, Wlademir; Castellanos, Paola; Campos, Edmo (American Meteorological Society, 2020-08-04)
      The South Atlantic subtropical dipole is the dominant mode of coupled variability in the South Atlantic, connecting sea level pressure and sea surface temperature. Previous studies have shown its great relevance to the ...
    • PIRATA: A Sustained Observing System for Tropical Atlantic Climate Research and Forecasting 

      Bourlès, Bernard; Araujo, Moacyr; McPhaden, Michael J.; Brandt, Peter; Foltz, Gregory R.; Lumpkin, Rick; Giordani, Hervé; Hernandez, Fabrice; Lefèvre, Nathalie; Nobre, Paulo; Campos, Edmo; Saravanan, Ramalingam; Trotte‐Duhà, Janice; Dengler, Marcus; Hahn, Johannes; Hummels, Rebecca; Lübbecke, Joke F.; Rouault, Mathieu; Cotrim, Leticia; Sutton, Adrienne; Jochum, Markus; Perez, Renellys C. (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2019)
      Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic (PIRATA) is a multinational program initiated in 1997 in the tropical Atlantic to improve our understanding and ability to predict ocean‐atmosphere variability. ...
    • Seasonal Variability of Retroflection Structures and Transports in the Atlantic Ocean as Inferred from Satellite-Derived Salinity Maps 

      Castellanos, Paola; Olmedo, Estrella; Pelegrí, Josep Lluis; Turiel, Antonio; Campos, Edmo (MDPI, 2019)
      Three of the world’s most energetic regions are in the tropical and South Atlantic: the North Brazil Current Retroflection, the Brazil-Malvinas Confluence, and the Agulhas Current Retroflection. All three regions display ...
    • Variability of the Oceans 

      Yu, Jin-Yi; Campos, Edmo; Du, Yan; Eldevik, Tor; Gille, Sarah T.; Losada, Teresa; McPhaden, Michael J.; Smedsrud, Lars H. (Cambridge University Press, 2020)
      The oceans have a huge capability to store, release, and transport heat, water, and various chemical species on timescales from seasons to centuries. Their transports affect global energy, water, and biogeochemical cycles ...
