		<abstract>Observations in the Brazil Current region between 20 and 30 S are revealing many interesting oceanographic features. In the austral winter of 1993, what appears to be an anomalous northward penetration of waters from the Brazil/Malvinas confluence region into the South Brazil Bight was observed. Despite its dynamical similarity to the South Atlantic Bight (SAB)in the North Atlantic, the South Brazil Bight (SBB)(also referred to as Santos Bight)is often overlooked by the physical oceanografic community. Wost of the historical ocenographic cruises in this area focused on the shelf, leaving the shelf break and slope - and therefore the Brazil Current itself - largely unstudied. For instance, the first time a conductivity-termperature-depth (CTD)survey was made of the SBB was in January 1991 [Campos et al., 1994, 1995]when German and Brazilian oceanographers on board the German FS Victor Hensen performed a CTD hydrographic survey in the area between Santos and Rio de Janeiro. Due to this substantial lack of knowledge in a region regarded as one of the most ecologically and economically important oceanic regions along the Brazilian coast, a group of Brazilian scientists set forth a comprehensive oceanographic survey called Project COROAS to study the SBB and the nearby portions of the Brazil Basin. This multi-disciplinary data collection effort, a component of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE)Deep Basin Experiment program, is an extensive study of part of the Brazil Basin that places particular emphasis on the SBB. COROAS focuses on different aspects of oceanography. It incorporates a high-quality hydrographic survey, satellite remote sensing, and Lagrangian and Eulerian current studies. Since the program began in 1993, researchers have performed several oceanographic cruises on board the R/V Prof. W.Besnard, conducted seasonal hydrographic surveys, and deployed and recovered an array of current meter moorings along a transect extending from near Santos (Brazil)to the Vema Channel. Additionally, satellite-tracked WOCE-type drifters are collecting data in the Brazil Current, and satellite advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR)data are being continuously recorded to map sea surface temperature.</abstract>
