North Brazil Current Retroflection
text:
The North Brazil Current (NBC) retroflects north-eastwards and merges into the North Equatorial Counter Current (NECC). The retroflection occurs in a seasonal pattern when there is strong retroflection from late summer to early winter. There is weakened or no retroflection during other times of the year. Just like in the Agulhas Current, the retroflection also sheds some eddies that make their way to the Caribbean Sea through the Lesser Antilles.
