The relationships between coastal upwelling and local winds at Cabo Frio (Brazil) are studied using SST and time series of surface wind for a 10-yr period (1971–80). The results show that the seasonal variations of SST and local winds are closely related. Sea-breeze circulation is intensified by the enhancement of the land–sea temperature gradient due to cold water upwelling near the coast; coastal upwelling, in turn, is associated with strong northeasterlies. This result confirms the conclusions of earlier modeling studies. Interannual variability is also apparent in the results. During the period from 1971 to 1980, the highest SST values occur during the years 1972–73 (strong El Nino event) and the lowest occur in 1977 (moderate El Nino event). This suggests some possible effects of atmospheric teleconnections on South Atlantic SSTs. However, a record longer than 10 yr is needed to confirm the connection with El Nino and La Nina events. Time–frequency analyses of the SST and zonal wind series f...
