             abstract = "Despite their importance for environmental management, the 
                         response of Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs) to climate changes is 
                         unlikely to be controlled by the ecological criteria used to 
                         define them. This is because productivity and trophic relations 
                         are endmembers of a chain effect that starts with physical 
                         processes not necessarily bounded by LMEs. Correlation fields were 
                         calculated for climate indices and sea surface temperature 
                         anomalies (SSTA) for the southwest Atlantic to identify 
                         interannual correlation patterns. Significant correlations 
                         indicate that the influence of El Niņo/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) 
                         along the north and east coasts of Brazil is not coincident with 
                         the boundaries of LMEs. The antisymmetric (opposed signs) 
                         correlation pattern of the Tropical South Atlantic (TSA) observed 
                         in the South Brazil (SB) LME, during the warm PDO phase, may be 
                         related with the northeast-southeast SST dipole. It is possible 
                         that both the TSA and the Antarctic Oscillation Index (AAO) have 
                         distinct influences on the Brazilian LMEs depending on the 
                         geographic location and time scale. The PDO multidecadal and the 
                         ENSO interannual induced SSTA variability along the Brazilian 
                         coast exhibit a complex spatial dynamics against which ecosystem 
                         functioning should be tested to provide clues as to how the LMEs 
                         might respond to these climate forcings. RESUMO: A despeito de sua
