North Brazil Current transport and retroflected flow derived from satellite altimetry observations in North Atlantic Ocean from 1992-10-14 to 2016-12-28 (NCEI Accession 0175782)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 03:13 AM | Dataset Last Updated: August 30, 2018 at 12:00 AM
The North Brazil Current is a tropical western boundary current that is the main contributor to water mass transport from the South Atlantic into the North Atlantic. Estimates of the North Brazil Current transport and retroflected flow are carried out by NOAA/AOML using satellite altimetry as the main dataset, and hydrographic observations.
