Herein, we present an evidence of potential El Niño impacts at the Southwestern South Atlantic Ocean (SWSA) inferred from the sclerochronology of the reef coral Favia leptophylla. The application of spectral analysis (wavelet decomposition and the iterative regression) to coral growth length and to meteorological-oceanographic parameters (air temperature, sea surface temperature and precipitation) as well as to Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) and solar irradiation indicated a major significant inverse relationship between SOI and coral growth length at the 48 years frequency band. We propose here that coral growth length from the SWSA could be affected by El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events through an atmospheric bridge, in contrast to its direct effect at the Pacific Ocean, related to the increase in sea surface temperature. %T Evidences linking ENSO and coral growth in the Southwestern-South Atlantic %@secondarytype PRE PI %K Abrolhos coral-reefs - ENSO - Polar fronts - Coral sclerochronology - Climate change. %@visibility shown %@group %@group %@group %@group %@group DGE-INPE-MCT-BR %@group %@group %@group DSR-INPE-MCT-BR %@secondarykey INPE--PRE/ %@issn 0930-7575 %2 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m17@80/2007/07.04.14.13.05 %@affiliation LARAMG, Laboratório de Radioecologia e Mudanças Globais/DBB/UERJ %@affiliation LARAMG, Laboratório de Radioecologia e Mudanças Globais/DBB/UERJ %@affiliation IRD, Institut de Recherche Pour le Développement %@affiliation UFBA/Instituto de Geociências %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@affiliation UFRJ/Museu Nacional/Setor de Celenterologia/Departamento de Invertebrados %@affiliation USP/Department of Atmospheric Sciences %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@affiliation UFBA/Instituto de Geociências %@affiliation Departamento de Geoquímica Ambiental, Universidade Federal Fluminense %B Climate Dynamics %P 869-880 %4 sid.inpe.br/mtc-m17@80/2007/07.04.14.13 %D 2007 %V 29 %A Evangelista, H., %A Godiva, D., %A Sifeddine, A., %A Leão, Z.
