| | Atlantic Ocean - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Due to the Coriolis effect, water in the North Atlantic circulates in a clockwise direction, whereas water circulation in the South Atlantic is counter clockwise. |  | | The surface is usually covered with sea ice in the Labrador Sea, Denmark Strait, and Baltic Sea from October to June. |  | | The Atlantic Ocean has irregular coasts indented by numerous bays, gulfs, and seas. |

| | Gough Island, South Atlantic Ocean |
 | | The first comprehensive scientific expedition to Gough Island was conducted by The Gough Island Expedition of 1955, led by Martin Holdgate, John Heaney and Robert Chambers. |  | | In it were the people left by the master of the Baltic, and not a little overjoyed when 1 told them that they might expect to see their ship daily to take them off the island. |  | | Most were on the Antarctic continent, but some were on the islands of the Southern Ocean. |

| | First ever Hurricane Recorded in South Atlantic off Brazil (This actually IS weird weather) |
 | | Though many people might speculate that the sea surface temperatures are too cold, the primary reasons that the South Atlantic Ocean gets no tropical cyclones are that the tropospheric (near surface to 200mb) vertical wind shear is much too strong and there is typically no inter-tropical convergence zone (ITCZ) over the ocean (Gray 1968). |  | | There actually is no agency officially assigned to monitor and track the South Atlantic; NHC does not, Joint Typhoon Warning Center doesn't, and no foreign agencies. |  | | For all the nonsense about weird weather you see pretty much every year, this actually IS weird. |

 | | Contrary to the North Atlantic, the South Atlantic is largely open to the influence of the southern ocean and other oceans. |  | | The Agulhas system plays an important role in two ways: first, as the inter-ocean conduit for warm Indian Ocean water into the Atlantic Ocean (the warm water route), thus maintaining the global thermohaline circulation; second, as a key active region in the carbon cycle. |  | | The South Atlantic thermocline exchanges with the Indian Ocean thermocline, and the injection of Pacific-Ocean-derived Antarctic Intermediate and mode water masses in Drake Passage are part of the "warm route, cold route" debate. |

| | The source of Benguela Niños in the South Atlantic Ocean |
 | | Similar dramatic events have been observed in the South Atlantic off the coasts of Angola and Namibia and named Benguela Niños. |  | | Using an ocean general circulation model, forced by real winds and verified with satellite data, it is shown that Benguela Niños are generated by specific wind stress events in the west-central equatorial Atlantic, and progress from there as subsurface temperature anomalies that eventually outcropped only at the south-west African coast. |  | | These results suggest that it now may be possible to predict the occurrence of these disruptive events with a lead-time of 2 months. |

 | | Interactions between the sea surface temperature (SST) over the South Atlantic Ocean (40°S-Equador) and the South Atlantic Convergence Zone (SACZ) were studied through numerical experiments with an atmospheric general circulation model (AGCM) and an ocean general circulation model (OGCM). |  | | The OGCM experiments, on the other hand, showed that the intensification of the SACZ contributes to cool the underlying ocean through the reduction of incident shortwave solar radiation, causing the appearance of cold SST anomalies or the weakening of pre-existing warm SST anomalies. |  | | The results suggest that negative SST anomalies often observed underlying the SACZ represent an ocean response to atmospheric forcing. |
