Ocean boundary current systems are key components of the climate system, are home to highly productive ecosystems, and have numerous societal impacts. Establishment of a global network of boundary current observing systems is a critical part of ongoing development of the Global Ocean Observing System. The characteristics of boundary current systems are reviewed, focusing on scientific and societal motivations for sustained observing. Techniques currently used to observe boundary current systems are reviewed, followed by a census of the current state of boundary current observing systems globally. The next steps in the development of boundary current observing systems are considered, leading to several specific recommendations.

The Global Ocean Ship-Based Hydrographic Investigations Program (GO-SHIP) provides a globally coordinated network and oversight of 55 sustained decadal repeat hydrographic reference lines. GO-SHIP is part of the global ocean/climate observing systems (GOOS/GCOS) for study of physical oceanography, the ocean carbon, oxygen and nutrient cycles, and marine biogeochemistry. GO-SHIP enables assessment of the ocean sequestration of heat and carbon, changing ocean circulation and ventilation patterns, and their effects on ocean health and Earth’s climate. Rapid quality control and open data release along with incorporation of the GO-SHIP effort in the Joint Technical Commission for Oceanography and Marine Meteorology (JCOMM) in situ Observing Programs Support Center (JCOMMOPS) have increased the profile of, and participation in, the program and led to increased data use for a range of efforts. In addition to scientific discovery, GO-SHIP provides climate quality observations for ongoing calibration of measurements from existing and new autonomous platforms. This includes biogeochemical observations for the nascent array of biogeochemical (BGC)-Argo floats; temperature and salinity for Deep Argo; and salinity for the core Argo array. GO-SHIP provides the relevant suite of global, full depth, high quality observations and co-located deployment opportunities that, for the foreseeable future, remain crucial to maintenance and evolution of Argo’s unique contribution to climate science. The evolution of GO-SHIP from a program primarily focused on physical climate to increased emphasis on ocean health and sustainability has put an emphasis on the addition of essential ocean variables for biology and ecosystems in the program measurement suite. In conjunction with novel automated measurement systems, ocean color, particulate matter, and phytoplankton enumeration are being explored as GO-SHIP variables. The addition of biological and ecosystem measurements will enable GO-SHIP to determine trends and variability in these key indicators of ocean health. The active and adaptive community has sustained the network, quality and relevance of the global repeat hydrography effort through societally important scientific results, increased exposure, and interoperability with new efforts and opportunities within the community. Here we provide key recommendations for the continuation and growth of GO-SHIP in the next decade.

- Abstract
The spatiotemporal evolutions of sea surface salinity measurements from the SMOS satellite reveal presence of a local salinity maximum in the northwestern tropical Atlantic beginning in September increasing with a Maximum in October and disappearing in January. Its structure and variability are analyzed through SMOS SSS daily products derived with advanced techniques developed at the Barcelona Expert Centre during 9 years. The results are compared with in situ data along the North Brazil Current (NBC) from the Prediction and Research moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic - PIRATA program. This seasonal tropical SSS maximum, produces the salty signature Northward of the NBC, which is seen as a localized salinity maximum on satellite imagery, in contrast to the fresh signature present in summer-early fall. These changes suggest a change in the composition of water masses that enter in the South Atlantic contributing to an alteration in the dynamics of global circulation.

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 at local and regional scales has already resulted in widespread coral cover reduction. Connectivity, the transport and exchange of larvae among geographically separated populations, plays an essential role in recovery and maintenance of biodiversity and resilience of coral reef populations. Here, an oceanographic model in 3-D high-resolution was used to simulate particle dispersion of "virtual larvae." We investigated the potential physical connectivity of coral reefs among different regions in the Gulf. Simulations reveal that basin-scale circulation is responsible for broader spatial dispersion of the larvae in the central region of the Gulf, and tidally-driven currents characterized the more localized connectivity pattern in regions along the shores in the Gulf's southern part. Results suggest predominant self-recruitment of reefs with highest source and sink ratios along the Bahrain and western Qatar coasts, followed by the south eastern Qatar and continental Abu Dhabi coast. The central sector of the Gulf is suggested as recruitment source in a stepping-stone dynamics. Recruitment intensity declined moving away from the Straits of Hormuz. Connectivity varied in models assuming passive versus active mode of larvae movement. This suggests that larval behaviour needs to be taken into consideration when establishing dispersion models, and establishing conservation strategies for these vulnerable ecosystems.

This study uses nine years of daily 9-km Pathfinder AVHRR/NOAA Sea Surface Temperature(SST) images to estimate the SST temporal variability of the southwestern Atlantic Ocean on time-scales ranging from sub-seasonal to inter-annual. First, we evaluated the annual and semi-annual deterministic signals in the total variability of the SST fields using a least-squares fit. We then removed the annual and semi-annual components from the original data and used a low-pass filter to estimate the contribution of the inter-annual component of total variability. Finally, the interannual signal was removed and the variance associated to the remaining residuals was calculated to address the intraannual component. The annual signal was found to dominate over the area with a coefficient of determination higher than 85%, with amplitudes ranging from 1° to 13°C. The largest amplitudes were found on the continental shelf, with the highest values near the La Plata River estuary as a consequence of the river runoff. The semi-annual signal was significant near the Brazil/Malvinas Confluence (BMC), due to mesoscale activity with same periods. The Southern Annular Mode (SAM) appeared to be related to the high values of semi-annual amplitudes found close to 50º S, 65º W. The results for the oceanic area north of BMC showed that the region between 24°S and 32°S had semi-annual amplitudes close to 1.5°C. We suggested that this high amplitude was related to the South Atlantic Convergence Zone. The domain, as a whole, experienced weak inter-annual variations, except in the vicinity of the BMC where higher values(~1.2ºC)were found. The Argentine shelf and the South Brazil Bight also presented significant interannual variability related to the inter-annual variations in the La Plata river discharge forced by ENSO events.The region close to the BMC and the South Atlantic Current were associated with high intraannual variances due to intense mesoscale activity normally observed in these areas. Low intra-annual variance found in the Zapiola Drift was related to the anticyclone flow in this region which tended to isolate the circulation in the center of the drift. This gyre was forced by the meso-scale events of the BMC and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current that appeared as high values of intraannual variance around the Zapiola Drift. The higher resolution SST data set, the longer time series and the larger domain permitted to identify new and important oceanographic features and to extend the results already reported in the southwestern Atlantic. No presente estudo, nove anos de imagens diárias da temperatura da superfície do mar (TSM)do tipo Pathfinder AVHRR/NOAA, com resolução espacial de 9x9 quilômetros, são utilizadas para estimar a variabilidade temporal da TSM para o setor Sudoeste do Oceano Atlântico. São analisadas escalas temporais variando de intra-sazonal a inter- anual. Inicialmente, foi estimado o sinal determinístico(ciclo anual + semi-anual) da variabilidade total dos dados através da metodologia de mínimos quadrados. Este sinal foi então subtraído dos dados originais e um filtro passa baixa foi aplicado para avaliar a contribuição do componente inter-anual da variabilidade total. Finalmente, o sinal interanual também foi removido e a variância do sinal residual calculada a fim de se estimar a componente intra-anual da variabilidade. Os resultados demonstram que o sinal anual explica a maior parte da variabilidade da TSM na região de estudo, com um coeficiente da determinação maior do que 85% e com amplitudes que variam de 1° a 13°C. As maiores amplitudes do ciclo anual são encontradas na plataforma continental, com os valores máximos ocorrendo junto a estuário do Rio da Prata como uma consequência dos desagúes continentais. O sinal semi-anual é significante na região da Confluência Brasil Malvinas(CBM)devido à atividade de meso-escala com este mesmo período de variabilidade presente na região.O Southern Annular Mode(SAM)parece estar relacionado com os altos valores de amplitude semi-anual encontrados na região próxima 50º S, 65º W. Novos resultados para região oceânica ao norte da CBM demonstram que a região entre 24°S e 32°S apresenta amplitude do ciclo semi-anual próxima a 1,5 ºC. Sugere-se que estes altos valores de amplitude estão relacionados com a Convergência do Atlântico Sul. Em geral a região de estudo apresenta uma variabilidade inter-anual pequena, com exceção da CBM onde os valores máximos (~ 1,2°C) são encontrados.A plataforma continental Argentina e a Baia de Santos também apresentam variabilidade inter- anualsignificativa relacionada com as mudanças no deságue do Rio da Prata forçadas pelos eventos ENOS. As regiões próximas à CBM e da Corrente do Atlântico Sul estão associadas com valores de variância intra-anuais relativamente elevados, devido à intensa atividade do mesoscale observada nestas áreas. A baixa variância intra-anual encontrada no Zapiola Drift, esta relacionada a fluxo anticiclônico presente nesta região que tende a isolar a circulação no centro do “Drift ”. Este giro é forcado pelos eventos de meso-escala da CBM e da Corrente Circumpolar Antártica os quais aparecem como alto valores de variância intra-anual ao redor do Zapiola Drift. A maior resolução do banco de dados de TSM, a maior série temporal e o maior domínio permitiram estender os resultados já apresentados para a região do Atlântico Sudoeste e identificar novas e importantes feições oceanográficas.

Recruitment of pelagic fish is the result of a group of processes that affect their entire life cycle. Most of the variability in pelagic fish natural mortality is thought to occur during the early life stages of development, and to be related to environmental factors. The central Southwestern Atlantic Continental Shelf is one of the most productive fishing sites in the western South Atlantic, but the processes involving the circulation in this area and its influence on eggs and larvae transport and retention are still poorly understood. The use of coupled physical-biological models to investigate fish early life history is relatively common. This work presents results of such a model applied to anchoita (Engraulis anchoita). The model is alternatively coupled to two surface velocity fields: the Ekman surface velocities computed from wind stress data, and the output of a three dimensional hydrodynamic numerical model. It is used to compute larval retention over the shelf. The results show that taking into account only Ekman velocities does not explain the seasonal and spatial spawning patterns observed in the region. Retention values with the experiments forced with output of the hydrodynamical model better match the observations. Our results suggest that the density driven circulation, induced by freshwater discharges of the Patos Lagoon and the la Plata River, and intrusions produced by the variability of the boundary currents (Brazil and Malvinas Currents) are efficient mechanisms of larval retention, especially due to the formation of recirculation cells that trap the organisms in coastal areas. Recrutamento de peixes pelágicos é o resultado de um grupo de processos que afetam todo o seu ciclo de vida. Assume-se que a maior parte das variações na mortalidade natural de peixes pelágicos ocorre durante os estágios iniciais de seu desenvolvimento e que seja relacionada a fatores ambientais. A parte central da plataforma continental do Atlântico sudoeste é um dos sítios pesqueiros mais produtivos na parte ocidental do Atlântico Sul, mas os processos envolvendo a circulação nessa área e sua influência no transporte de larvas e ovos são ainda muito pouco conhecidos. O uso de modelos físico-biológicos na investigação da história inicial da vida de peixes é relativamente comum. Este trabalho apresenta resultados de um modelo desse tipo aplicado à anchoíta (Engraulis anchoita). O modelo é forçado alternativamente por dois campos de velocidade: a velocidade superficial de Ekman, computada de dados da tensão de cisalhamento do vento, e saídas de um modelo numérico hidrodinâmico tri-dimensional. O modelo acoplado é usado para computar a retenção larval sobre a plataforma. Os resultados mostram que somente a velocidade de Ekman não explica os padrões sazonais e espaciais de reprodução observados na região. Valores de retenção obtidos com o modelo forçado com saídas do modelo hidrodinâmico são comparados aos observados. Os resultados sugerem também que a circulação gerada por gradientes de densidade resultantes das descargas de água doce do Rio da Prata e da Lagoa dos Patos, e as intrusões de águas das correntes de contorno oeste (Brasil e Malvinas), são mecanismos eficientes de retenção larval, especialmente devido à formação de células de recirculação que aprisionam os organismos em áreas costeiras.

[1] Wavelet transform and cross wavelet transform were applied for analyzing long time series of sea level and alongshore wind stress to identify intraseasonal variability off western South America and the relations with remote and local forcings. Hydrographic data were used to estimate properties of coastal trapped waves with a theoretical model. For El Nino years, we found the existence of intraseasonal oscillations with periods 20–90 days, between 2S and 27S. At the peak of 91–92 and 97–98 EL Ninos, we found perturbations in the northern region, probably associated with remotely forced internal Kelvin waves, with periods 6–11 days and phase velocities 160–260 km/day. Between 12S and 15S, during two El Nino events, our calculations show perturbations which appear to be barotropic shelf waves propagating southward with velocities between 110 and 150 km/day and periods between 30 and 50 days.

In this article, thirteen years of weekly sea surface temperature (SST) fields derived from NOAA Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer global area coverage infrared satellite data, from January 1982 to December 1994, are used to investigate spatial and temporal variabilities of SST seasonal cycle in the Southwest Atlantic Oceano This work addresses large scale variations over the eastem South American continental shelf and slope regions limited offshore by the 1000-m isobath, between 42° and 22°S. SST time series are fit with annual and semi-annual harmonics to describe the annual variation of sea surface temperatures. The annual harmonic explains a large proportion of the SST variability. The coefficient of determination is highest (>; 90%) on the continental shelf, decreasing offshore. The estimated amplitude of the seasonal cycle ranges between 4° and 13°e throughout the study area, with minima in AugustSeptember and maxima in February-March. After the identification and removal of the dominant annual components ofSST variability, models such as the one presented here are an attractive tool to study interannual SST variability. Neste artigo, treze anos de imagens semanais da temperatura da superfície do mar (TSM) obtidas através do sensor infravermelho Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer a bordo dos satélites NOAA, de janeiro de 1982 a dezembro de 1994, são utlilizadas para investigar as variabilidades espacial e temporal do cicIo sazonal de TSM no Oceano Atlântico Sudoeste. Este trabalho objetiva as variações de larga escala sobre a plataforma continental e o talude leste da América do Sul limitados ao largo pela isóbata de 1000 metros, entre 42°5 e 22°S. As séries temporais de TSM são ajustadas aos .harmônicos anual e sem i-anual para descrever a variação anual das temperaturas da superfície do mar. O harmônico anual explica a maior parte da variabilidade da TSM. O coeficiente de determinação é alto (>; 90%) sobre a plataforma continental, decrescendo em direção ao largo. A amplitude estimada do cicIo sazonal varia entre 4° e l30e na região de estudo, atingindo mínimas temperaturas em agosto-setembro e máximas em fevereiro-março. Após identificação e remoção das componentes dominantes da variabilidade da TSM, modelos como o apresentado aqui são uma ferramenta atrativa para o estudo da variabilidade inter-anual da TSM.

Within the scope of the MAR-14 Project, part of the Brazil-Germany Bilateral Agreement in Marine Sciences, an oceanographic survey aboard the R/V Victor Hensen was carried out in Brazilian coastal waters between Santos (23º56'S) and Rio de Janeiro (22º54'S), from January 15 to January 22,1991. In this article we report results of preliminary analyses of the hydrographic data collected with CTD, STD, Nansen bottles and XBT's. These preliminary results show intense stratification in the first 200 m depth, and the penetration of the Brazil Current deep into the continental shelf region. Two eddy-like features were detected. The first one, anticyclonic, was located in the northern part of the domain and confined to the uppermost 200 m. The second, a cyclonic vortex, was found a little to the southwest below 200 m and extending downwards to about 800 m depth. Water mass analyses based on T-S diagrams suggest that the interface between the South Atlantic Central Water (SACW) and the Antarctic Intermediate Water (AIW) is located at about 500 m depth. One important aspect of this study is that this was the first time a high resolution survey with a CTD probe was realized along the eastern Brasilian Coast, south of Cabo Frio.Como parte do projeto MAR-14, componente do Acordo Bilateral Brasil-Alemanha em Ciências Marinhas, uma campanha oceanógrafica a bordo do R/V Victor Hensen foi realizada em águas costeiras do Brasil entre Santos (23º56'S), de 15 a 22 de janeiro de 991. Neste artigo reportamos resultados de análises preliminares dos dados hidrográficos coletados com o auxílio de CTD, STD, garrafas de Nansen e XBT's. Esses resultados preliminares mostram uma intensa estratificação nos primeiros 200 m de profundidade, e a penetração da corrente bem adentro da região sobre a plataforma continental. Duas estruturas com características de vórtices de meso-escala foram detectadas. O primeiro, anticiclônico, estava localizado na parte norte da rede de estações e confinado praticamente nos primeiros 200 m de profundidade. O Segundo, um vórtice ciclónico, foi encontrado um pouco para o sudoeste e abaixo dos 200 m, estendendo-se para baixo até cerca de 800 metros. Análises de Massa de água baseadas em diagramas T-S sugerem que a interface entre a Água Central do Atlântico Sul (ACAS) e a Água Intermediária Antártica (AIA) se encontrava em aproximadamente 500 m de profundidade. Um aspecto importante desse cruzeiro que deve ser ressaltado é que, esta foi a primeira vez em que um sensor do tipo CTD foi utilizado com essa resolução ao longo da costa leste do Brasil, abaixo de Cabo Frio.
