This study uses nine years of daily 9-km Pathfinder AVHRR/NOAA Sea Surface Temperature(SST) images to estimate the SST temporal variability of the southwestern Atlantic Ocean on time-scales ranging from sub-seasonal to inter-annual. First, we evaluated the annual and semi-annual deterministic signal...
