                         study some dynamical aspects of the Brazil-Malvinas Confluence 
                         system, with emphasis in SST variabilities, the eddy generation 
                         and the variability of the confluence positioning due to internal 
                         dynamic mechanisms. The oceanic basin adopted was limited in 20S - 
                         55S and 65W -20W. In this domain there are large areas of 
                         Continental Shelf that were not well represented in the 
                         simulations, due to limitations of the isopycnic model, which do 
                         not resolve properly the vertical structure in shallow areas. The 
                         cut-off depths adopted was 100 m, and some coastal currents 
                         systems were not resolved. At present, the Miami modeling group is 
                         developing an hybrid-coordinate model, that can work as an 
                         isopycnic model or as a sigma coordinate model. The main advantage 
                         of this model appears to be the ability of work in coastal and 
                         deep areas as a whole, with good results in both cases. We are 
                         applying this hybrid-coordinate model (HYCOM) to the same South 
                         Atlantic domain to compare the results with MICOM previous results 
                         and point out the main differences, vantages and limitations of 
                         this model in representing the Brazil-Malvinas Confluence 
                         system.",
