             abstract = "This study presents an overview of oceanic mesoscale eddies and 
                         their influence on the overlying atmosphere and surrounding 
                         waters, with a focus on the southwestern Atlantic Ocean. The high 
                         values of eddy kinetic energy (EKE) in this region are related to 
                         the mesoscale eddies observed, which transport dynamic and 
                         thermodynamic specific properties away from their origin point, 
                         during their life cycle. This transport capacity interferes with 
                         several atmospheric and oceanic processes, such as the local 
                         marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) stability, heat fluxes, 
                         and primary production. In the Southern Hemisphere, cyclonic 
                         (anticyclonic) eddies are related to clockwise (counterclockwise) 
                         circulation and negative (positive) anomalies of the sea surface 
                         temperature (SST) and the latent and sensible heat fluxes. It has 
                         been observed that over the clockwise and cold (counterclockwise 
                         and warm) eddies, there is a decrease (increase) in the 
                         near-surface wind, as well as stable (unstable) conditions on the 
                         MABL, vertical downward (upward) movements in the atmosphere, and 
                         decreased (increased) precipitation. SST anomalies influence the 
                         curl, divergence, and magnitude of the surface wind and wind 
                         stress, while mesoscale surface oceanic currents mainly affect the 
                         stress and wind curls. The atmospheric response to SST anomalies 
                         can be explained using two main mechanisms: hydrostatic adjustment 
                         and vertical mixing. However, as will be shown, the feedback among 
                         the SST anomalies, wind, and oceanic currents is far more complex.

                         structures.",
