Measurements taken during Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT) cruises.

Measurements made during Mediterranean, Indian and Pacific Ocean Transect (MIPOT) cruises in 2001.

Measurements made along the Eastern Seaboard of the United States, North Atlantic Bight, and Gulf Stream between 2000 and 2010.

Measurements made near the mid-Atlantic coastal region of the continental shelf in 2005 and 2006.

The ANTARES regional network is composed of coastal time-series stations located around Latin America (www.antares.ws). The main goal is to study long-term changes due to both climate and anthropogenic effects, as well as for ocean color purposes of satellite match-ups and algorithm development.

Measurements made in the northwest Atlantic and northeast Pacific oceans between 2008 and 2009.

Measurements from the Atlantic Ocean made by the University of Maryland between New England, Bermuda, and Brazil in 2003.

Measurements made in the North Atlantic Bight in 2008.

The ANTARES regional network is composed of coastal time-series stations located around Latin America. The main goal is to study long-term changes due to both climate and anthropogenic effects, as well as for ocean color purposes of satellite match-ups and algorithm development. The Ubatuba-ANTARES station is located in the Southeast Brazilian Bight, 12 nautical miles from the coastline, at approximately 40 m depth. Ubatuba inner shelf is influenced by mesoscale cyclonic meandering of the Brazil Current system at a region with a crosscurrent transfer of slope waters into the shelf. This ecosystem is mainly oligo-mesotrophic, but also strongly influenced by the South Atlantic Central Water upwelled locally or remotely forced from northeastern upwelling cores mainly during austral summer. In the winter, colder, less saline and relatively richer waters from southern latitudes advect northwards along the shelf.
