Mixing 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 ...
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 ...
