       'Exchanges between continental shelves and open ocean basins regulate the transport of heat, salt, and nutrients. In the Southwestern Atlantic, the western boundary current known as the Malvinas Current (MC) fertilizes the outer shelf through recurrent slope-water intrusions. Here we analyze the 2003–2024 interannual variability of satellite chlorophyll-a around 41°S, where the inflection of the 100-m isobath promotes these incursions. The first Empirical Orthogonal Function mode explains 43% of the variance and exhibits a spatial pattern consistent with the MC intrusion zone. Backward Lagrangian simulations reveal that low-chlorophyll periods correspond to waters advected by the onshore MC jet, whereas high-chlorophyll years are linked to offshore-origin parcels likely richer in nutrients. Sea-level anomaly composites indicate that mesoscale eddies near 40°S can block or deflect the MC, favoring intrusions onto the shelf. These results provide new quantitative evidence that variability in boundary-current pathways strongly modulates interannual changes in chlorophyll-a over continental shelves.',

+      'Understanding the transport pathways of floating material at the ocean surface is important to improve our knowledge on surface circulation and assessing its environmental impacts. Numerical experiments through Lagrangian particle simulations are widely used to investigate the dispersion of floating material, typically relying on velocity fields from ocean circulation models. However, the contribution of different ocean dynamics (at different temporal and spatial scales) to the net Lagrangian transport remains unclear. Here we focus on tidal forcing, only included in recent ocean models, to explore its effect on particle dispersion at the ocean surface. By comparing a twin simulation with and without tidal forcing, we conclude that tide-induced dynamics play an important role in horizontal Lagrangian pathways. We focus on the Azores Islands region and find that surface particles travel a longer cumulative distance and a lower total distance with than without tidal forcing. Additionally, tidal forcing leads to higher variability in surface particle accumulation patterns. The differences found in the surface particle accumulation patterns can be greater than 40%. These findings have important implications for virtual particle simulations, suggesting that considering tidal currents alone may not capture the full range of tide-induced effects. A deeper understanding of the underlying dynamics is essential for accurately analyzing transport properties. Our outcomes can already help improve Lagrangian simulations made to understand the connectivity of marine species and for marine pollution applications, for example, ocean clean-up strategies for plastics or oil spills, in the Azores Islands and regions with similar dynamics.',
