Two theoretical studies in equatorial dynamics are proposed here.               One is to study the inertial, friction, and beta effects on the                 separation and retroflection of the North Brazil Current, the                   other is to show the Amazon discharge will turn to the NW under                 internal dynamics. The first study is specially important since                 the separation and retroflection of the NBC is seasonal and                     affects substantially the heat transport into the North Atlantic.
