The first Brazil/U.S. Workshop on Physical Oceanography of the South Atlantic Ocean was held on 3 Aug 1987 at the University of New Hampshire. The workshop resulted from a growing mutual interest in studying a complex and exceedingly interesting part of the world's ocean; its purpose was to broaden Brazilian/U.S. interest in studies of the Brazil Current. Five Brazilians and 25 U.S. physical oceanographers met for four days of interaction. Two days of technical talks were followed by two days of planning discussions. The 21 abstracts included in this proceedings are as follows: Brazil Current Measurements; Satellite AVHRR Imagery of the Brazil Current during 1985; The NECC as Measured by SEQUAL/FOCAL Surface Drifters; Meridional Transports in the South Atlantic; Tropical Atlantic Finestructure; Circulation Field off North East Brazil in 1985, and Comparison with Historical Patterns; Large-Scale Eddy Characteristics and Variability in the Western Atlantic Near Equatorial Waters; The NBC Retroflection as Traced from Space with the CZCS; Equatorial Upper Ocean Response to Trade-Wind Forcing Observed Using Moored Current Meters during the SEQUAL Experiment; Low-Frequency Variability on the Brazilian Continental Shelf; Dynamics of the Amazon Plume; Estuary and Lagoon Systems in Brazil; Variability of the North Brazil Coastal Current; Physical Oceanography in AMASSEDS; Overview of the North Brazil Shelf Study (NOBRASS); The North Brazil Experiment (NOBREX); Boundary Current Separation and Equatorial Outflow; Meridional Oscillations Driven by Zonal Winds in a Trapezoidal Equatorial Basin; Doppler Current Profiling from Moored Subsurface Floats; Microcomputer Revolution in Remote Instrumentation; and On the Development of Oceanographic instrumentation in Brazil. The abstracts are followed by the texts of general discussions concerning Brazil/U.S. scientific collaboration and workshop discussions on coastal oceanography, equatorial Atlantic, and joint modeling studies.
