The Cabo Frio region (Brazil) presents a unique coastal-oceanic system. Among several interesting oceanic phenomena that occur in this region, the coastal upwelling is the most important coastal feature and is mainly forced by persistent winds northeast. An oceanic feature model which specifically describes the Cabo Frio upwelling process is used as a parameterization scheme to track the time evolution...
The study of the ocean circulation is the central core of all dynamical oceanography. The routine derivation of sea surface temperature or infrared brightness temperatures has been used to estimate the surface circulation by calculating the motion of the thermal features (coastal upwellings, filaments and eddies) in successive images. To that respect, a number of authors have developed different methodologies...
