Subsurface Jets in the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Subsurface jets, defined as having velocity maxima >40 cm s?1 at depths between 100 and 350 m, and being surrounded by much weaker near-surface currents, have been observed over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico continental ...
The Ventilation of the Deep Gulf of Mexico
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent measurements over the sill in the Yucatan Channel indicate that the deepest flows between the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, those that take place below the sill level at the Florida Straits, have zero mean ...
Vertical Velocity and Vertical Heat Flux Observed within Loop Current Eddies in the Central Gulf of Mexico
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sixteen months of observations from a surface-to-bottom mooring in the central Gulf of Mexico show that acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) are useful for directly measuring the vertical velocity within mesoscale ...
