In this dissertation we describe a newly discovered subsurface frontal meander of the North Brazil Undercurrent (NBUC), centered at about 4ºS, 36.5ºW, hereafter Potiguar Eddy (PE). The Potiguar Eddy is an elliptically-shaped eddy, with major and minor axes of approximately 330 and 130 km, with a subsurface signature. It extends vertically from 100 m to 400 m, with maximum velocities of 0.6 m.s-1 and recirculates about 2 Sv of waters from the NBUC. Despite the presence of the PE in subtermocline waters, the surface flow is northwestward throughout the year. The analysis of variability of mooring velocity data in the Potiguar Bight revealed two most important statistical modes of variability (EOFs); one with high amplitudes over most of the p...
