Biophysical interactions in the Cabo Frio upwelling system, southeastern Brazil [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Oceanography, 2012 The rising of cold water from deeper levels characterizes coastal upwelling systems. This flow makes nutrients available in the euphotic layer, which enhances phytoplankton production and growth. On the Brazilian coast, upwelling is most intense in the Cabo Frio region (RJ). The basic knowledge of this system was reviewed in accordance with concepts of

Insect galls of the xeric vegetation of Ilha do Cabo Frio (Arraial do Cabo, RJ, Brazil) [PDF]
Biota Neotropica, 2013 The xeric vegetation of Ilha do Cabo Frio (Arraial do Cabo, RJ) was investigated for insect galls, in May, June and August of 2012, totalizing 24 hours of field work. Forty-five morphotypes of insect galls were found on 29 species of host plant (25 genera and 18 families). Asteraceae and Myrtaceae were the most galled plant families.

Energy Flux to a Cyclonic Eddy off Cabo Frio, Brazil
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2009 Abstract To evaluate the energy flux from the mean flow of South Atlantic western boundary currents toward typical Cabo Frio eddies (at Brazilian southeast coast), the southwestern Atlantic circulation was simulated with the Princeton Ocean Model.

Mercury speciation in fish of the Cabo Frio upwelling region, SE-Brazil [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Oceanography, 2011 Mercury distribution in the oceans is controlled by complex biogeochemical cycles, resulting in retention of trace amounts of this metal in marine biota. The impact of upwelling processes in this metal behavior has been overlooked. Data from literature are insufficient to evaluate the risks associated with the presence of mercury in the fish collected ...

Upwelling around Cabo Frio, Brazil: The importance of wind stress curl
Geophysical Research Letters, 2006 Data from the SeaWinds scatterometer on the QuikSCAT satellite are used to estimate upwelling around Cabo Frio, Brazil, due to Ekman transport and Ekman pumping. The region close to shore (up to 200 km from the coast) is characterized by negative wind stress curl (upwelling favorable) year‐round, with maximum values during summer, and minimum values ...

Biological and oceanographic upwelling indicators at Cabo Frio (RJ) [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Oceanography, 1997 Phytoplankton biomass, chemical parameters and hydrology were studied in a transect 101.6 km long off Cabo Frio (RJ), Southeast Brazil, during summer (December 29 to 31, 1991) and winter (June 27 to 30, 1992). Wind induced upwelling events are frequently observed in the area during summer, becoming rare during winter.
