AbstractThe Western South Atlantic is characterized by oceanographic and meteorological features of great interest. The Brazil-Malvinas Confluence occurs within a well-known active cyclogenetic region east of Andes Mountains, with impacts in weather and climate conditions of southeastern South America. In this study, it is presented the oceanic module for the numerical representation of the combined effect of tidal influence, fresh water discharge of Plata River and meteorological influences over the Brazil-Malvinas confluence region, through the implementation of a customized version of Princeton Ocean Model (POM). The system considers: (i) a large scale domain with 1/2 degree resolution based on monthly Levitus climatology for 3D temperature and salinity fields besides surface winds and heat fluxes from global atmospheric models; and (ii) a one-way nested area with 1/12 degree close to the coast, from northern Argentina to southeast Brazilian shelf. Satellite observations of SST and SSH can also be included in the coarse grid for medium range forecasts. During the implementation stages, the Brazil-Malvinas Confluence region - and its typical seasonal variability - was the most sensitive indication of correct specification of volume transport across the southern open boundaries, between South America and Antarctica and between Africa and Antarctica, which is the key for a realistic representation of known circulation features. Other major highlight of this stage is the importance of Weddell Sea on tidal propagation and amphidrome formation in South Atlantic, being decisive for correct representation of tidal amplitudes and phases at the south-southeastern Brazilian coast. The altimetric data of Topex/Poseidon satellite mission was used for evaluation of cotidal charts and SSH variability given by the model on the low-resolution domain. The features of major interest in the high resolution grid are: storm surge events; the coastal plume of fresh water of Plata River and its influence over the inner shelf of Uruguay and South Brazil; eddy activity at the confluence region as well as the Brazil Current meandering and the intense SST gradient regions.
