                         Southwestern Atlantic Ocean in 1993 and 1994 as observed by 
                         high-resolution AVHRR sea surface temperature images of the 
                         region. The investigation of the eddies is made according to their 
                         characteristic sizes and relation to the local internal Rossby 
                         radius of deformation. In the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean, most of 
                         the reported eddy activity is related to the Brazil-Malvinas 
                         Confluence region. This paper, however, also describes eddies 
                         located at the South Brazilian Continental Shelf where very few 
                         references are currently available. Some of the eddies present in 
                         the South Brazilian Continental Shelf are similar to shelfbreak 
                         eddies described for other parts of the World Ocean. In the 
                         Brazil-Malvinas Confluence region, cold core eddies are formed by 
                         breaking off from the crests of high amplitude meanders of the 
                         South Atlantic Current. Warm core eddies are present at the Brazil 
                         Current reversal flow region and at the troughs of the South 
                         Atlantic Current in the confluence. The characterization of the 
                         eddies in the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean is important task for 
                         better understanding the processes of across-front transport of 
                         properties between the Tropical and Subantarctic environments 
                         which can control much of the environmental and climatic processes 
                         occurring in the region.",
