Popis: Through time series analysis of GOSSTCOMP satellite data, time differences in the occurrence of maximum and minimum mean monthly SST's off the coast of Brazil were observed in the region of 20–28° S by 34–47° W and showed the maximum surface water temperature to lag the coastal land station (Cananeia) by two months and the minimum by one month. For annual components of SST, maximum amplitudes were observed at Cabo Frio (influenced by upwelling) and Cananeia (influenced by Malvinas current) and minimum amplitudes at coastal and oceanic area between Ubatuba and Santos, a more thermally stable area.
