  abstract = {{A}lthough relatively rare compared to similar latitudes in the {P}acific or {I}ndian {O}ceans, massive coral colonies are present in the {T}ropical/{E}quatorial {S}outhwestern {A}tlantic {O}cean. {H}owever, detailed geo-chemical compositions of these corals are still largely unknown. {I}n this work, we present growth rates, {S}r/{C}a, and {U}/{C}a ratios of the coral colony ({S}iderastrea stellata) sampled at {R}ocas {A}toll, off the {B}razilian coast. {T}hese variables are primarily affected by sea surface temperature ({SST}) at seasonal scale, and by wind stress at interannual scale, these results represent a broad new finding. {A} lower significance at the interannual time scale between {S}r/{C}a and {U}/{C}a with respect to {SST} is attributed to the low {SST} amplitude closed to {E}quator. {A}n investigation on the dependence of coral growth rates with respect to the "cloud shading effect' promoted by the {I}ntertropical {C}onvergence {Z}one ({ITCZ}) does not show significant influence. {A}dditionally, rain seems to act on local geochemistry of {S}r/{C}a ratios and growth rate at the decadal scale.},
