Confluência Brasil-Malvinas
A zona de confluência Brasil-Malvinas[1] é uma região energética de água localizada na costa da Argentina ao Uruguai, onde se localiza a corrente do Brasil.[2][3][4] Oscila regularmente a circulação termoalina movida pelas diferenças de densidade das águas dos oceanos devido a variações de temperatura[5][6] ou salinidade em alguma região oceânica superficial.[7]
