South Atlantic Current

The South Atlantic Current is a significant ocean current in the South Atlantic Ocean. It flows westward along the southern boundary of the Atlantic Ocean, stemming from the Brazil Current, which moves southward along the eastern coast of South America. The South Atlantic Current then heads westward around the southern tip of South America and eventually merges with the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. This current plays a crucial role in the global ocean circulation system and has important implications for climate and marine ecosystems.
