RISMixing and Spreading of the Mediterranean Outflow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hydrographic and current profiler data taken during the 1988 Gulf of Cadiz Expedition have been analyzed to diagnose the mixing, spreading, and descent of the Mediterranean outflow. The ??S properties and the thickness and ...
Momentum and Energy Balance of the Mediterranean Outflow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Field data taken in the Gulf of Cadiz have been analyzed to describe some aspects of the momentum andenergy balance of the Mediterranean outflow. A crucial component of the momentum balance is the total stress(entrainment ...
The Role of Interocean Exchanges on Decadal Variations of the Meridional Heat Transport in the South Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he interocean exchange of water from the South Atlantic with the Pacific and Indian Oceans is examined using the output from the ocean general circulation model for the Earth Simulator (OFES) during the period 1980?2006. ...
Stress on the Mediterranean Outflow Plume: Part I. Velocity and Water Property Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In September 1988 six sections were occupied across the Mediterranean outflow plume in the Gulf of Cadiz within 100 km of the Strait of Gibraltar. Vertical profiles of temperature and salinity were collected at CTD stations. ...
The complementary value of XBT and Argo observations to monitor ocean boundary currents and meridional heat and volume transports: A case study in the Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This work assesses the value of expendable bathythermograph (XBT) and Argo profiling float observations to monitor the Atlantic Ocean boundary current systems (BCS), meridional overturning circulation (MOC), and meridional ...
Observed Interannual Variability of the Florida Current: Wind Forcing and the North Atlantic Oscillation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The role of wind stress curl (WSC) forcing in the observed interannual variability of the Florida Current (FC) transport is investigated. Evidence is provided for baroclinic adjustment as a physical mechanism linking ...
Teleconnection between the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and Sea Level in the Mediterranean Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Mediterranean Sea can be viewed as a ?barometer? of the North Atlantic Ocean, because its sea level responds to oceanic-gyre-scale changes in atmospheric pressure and wind forcing, related to the North Atlantic Oscillation ...
An Updated Estimate of Salinity for the Atlantic Ocean Sector Using Temperature–Salinity Relationships
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSimultaneous temperature and salinity profile measurements are of extreme importance for research; operational oceanography; research and applications that compute content and transport of mass, heat, and freshwater ...
Continuous Estimate of Atlantic Oceanic Freshwater Flux at 26.5°N
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he first continuous estimates of freshwater flux across 26.5°N are calculated using observations from the RAPID?MOCHA?Western Boundary Time Series (WBTS) and Argo floats every 10 days between April 2004 and October 2012. ...
