Abstract: Four types of stable, subinertial Rossby-like waves have been found to propagate alongshore in a model baroclinic boundary current similar to the Gulf Stream as it flows along the continental margin of the southeastern ...

Abstract: Free, stable, coastal-trapped waves propagating in a continental shelf regime typical of coastal upwelling areas are studied using a two-layer analytical model. Two cases of interfacial geometry and mean current simulate ...

Abstract: The three-dimensional Princeton Ocean Model is used to examine the modification of the Gulf Stream and its meanders by cold air outbreaks. Two types of Gulf Stream meanders are found in the model. Meanders on the shoreward ...

Abstract: The two-dimensional, Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS) has been coupled with the Princeton Ocean Model to study air?sea interaction processes during an extreme cold air outbreak over the Gulf Stream off the ...

Abstract: Gulf Stream fluctuations observed over the 200 and 400 m isobaths off Onslow Bay, North Carolina have a prominent weekly time scale. The principal fluctuations observed during the 4-month winter experiment are consistent ...

Abstract: The energy budgets of the eddies and the mean flow in the Gulf Stream near a topographic feature known as the Charleston bump are computed. First, we consider these results in the context of the amplification hypothesis ...

Abstract: A numerical model study is presented of the unstable normal modes of oscillation of a boundary current. The model background current approximates the Gulf Stream south of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Both vertical and ...

Abstract: During 1984, five current meter moorings measured velocity and temperature in the Gulf Stream anticyclonic flank at a location approximately 250 km downstream of Cape Hatteras. Here, these data are used to analyze the ...

Abstract: Pointwise energy balances in the Gulf Stream System at 73°W (downstream of Cape Hatteras) are examined. Five current meter moorings obtained verlocity and temperature data at four different depths for approximately one ...

Abstract: The greatest fluxes of heat and moisture from the ocean to the atmosphere occur off the east coast of North America during winter when the Gulf Stream is vigorously cooled by strong cold air outbreaks that move off the ...
