| Summary: | The climate of the SW Atlantic Ocean is described for representative summer and winter months. The description is based on mean fields of surface and upperair metereological measurements. Maps and data have been obtained from national and international information centers. Other sources also were considered. The Malvinas Current is a year-round sink for the sensitive heatflux. The Malvinas and Brazil Currents and their zone of confluence are the most important oceanographic and climate features in the region of South Atlantic Ocean.
