The Convergence Ecosystem in the Southwest Atlantic,rge-scale flow field comprises the south and northward flowing western boundary currents, the Brazil and Malvinas (=Falkland) currents, respectively. The Brazil Current transports warm tropical water (TW) during most of the year towards the southern Brazilian shelf (Garcia 1997), while the coastal b
