  abstract = {{P}hysical and biological changes in the marine environment, induced by oceanic-atmospheric processes, can be imprinted in massive coral skeletons. {H}erein, we present an evidence of potential {E}l {N}ino impacts at the {S}outhwestern {S}outh {A}tlantic {O}cean ({SWSA}) inferred from the sclerochronology of the reef coral {F}avia leptophylla. {T}he application of spectral analysis (wavelet decomposition and the iterative regression) to coral growth length and to meteorological-oceanographic parameters (air temperature, sea surface temperature and precipitation) as well as to {S}outhern {O}scillation {I}ndex ({SOI}) and solar irradiation indicated a major significant inverse relationship between {SOI} and coral growth length at the 4-8 years frequency band. {W}e propose here that coral growth length from the {SWSA} could be affected by {E}l {N}ino {S}outhern {O}scillation ({ENSO}) events through an "atmospheric bridge", in contrast to its direct effect at the {P}acific {O}cean, related to the increase in sea surface temperature.},
