circulation, predominantly driven by stratospheric ozone de-
pletion over Antarctica, has caused changes in climate across
the extratropics. Here, we present evidence that the Brazilian
coast (southwestern Atlantic) may have been impacted from
both wind and sea-surface temperature changes derived from
this process. Skeleton analysis of massive coral species liv-
ing in shallow waters off Brazil are very sensitive to air{\textendash}sea
interactions, and seem to record this impact. Growth rates
of Brazilian corals show a trend reversal that fits the ozone
depletion evolution, confirming that ozone impacts are far
reaching and potentially affect coastal ecosystems in tropical
environments}, doi = {10.5194/bg-13-2379-2016}, url = {http://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/divers16-05/010067169.pdf}, author = {Evangelista, Heitor and Wainer, Ilana and Sifeddine, Abdelfettah and Corr{\`e}ge, Thierry and Cordeiro, Renato C. and Lamounier, Saulo and Godiva, Daniely and Shen, Chuan-Chou and Le Cornec, Florence and Turcq, Bruno and Claire E.
