Amazon Plume Salinity Response to Ocean Teleconnections

Amazon Plume Salinity Response to Ocean Teleconnections

Pacific and Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) variability strongly influences rainfall changes in the Amazon River basin, which impacts on the river discharge and consequently the sea surface salinity (SSS) in the Amazon plume. An Empirical Orthogonal Function (EOF) analysis was performed using...
