RISA Time Series of Agulhas Undercurrent Transport
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 550-day record of Agulhas Undercurrent transport between March 2003 and August 2004 is constructed from five deep moorings placed on the continental shelf off South Africa at nominally 32°S. The vertical and lateral ...
Is Interleaving in the Agulhas Current Driven by Near-Inertial Velocity Perturbations?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent observations taken at a number of latitudes in the Agulhas Current reveal that the water mass structure on either side of its dynamical core is distinctly different. Moreover, interleaving of these distinct water ...
Characteristics, Energetics, and Origins of Agulhas Current Meanders and Their Limited Influence on Ring Shedding
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Agulhas Current intermittently undergoes dramatic offshore excursions from its mean path because of the downstream passage of mesoscale solitary meanders or Natal pulses. New observations and analyses are presented of ...
Observations of the Florida and Yucatan Currents from a Caribbean Cruise Ship
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Yucatan and Florida Currents represent the majority of the warm-water return path of the global thermohaline circulation through the tropical/subtropical North Atlantic Ocean. Their transports are quantified and compared ...
Observed Agulhas Current Sensitivity to Interannual and Long-Term Trend Atmospheric Forcings
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractOf the interannual variance of the Agulhas Current transport, 29% can be linearly related to six modes of Southern Hemisphere atmospheric variability. Agulhas Current transport is quantified by a 24-yr proxy ...
Wind and Current Forcing Combine to Drive Strong Upwelling in the Agulhas Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: trong upwelling events inshore of the Agulhas Current close to 33.5°S are investigated. These events are important to the exchange of shelf and slope waters, potentially enhancing primary productivity and advecting larvae ...
Capturing the Transport Variability of a Western Boundary Jet: Results from the Agulhas Current Time-Series Experiment (ACT)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he volume transport of the Agulhas Current was measured over a 3-yr period by an array of seven current meter moorings and four current- and pressure-recording inverted echo sounders (CPIES) deployed at 34°S. CPIES extended ...
Advective Time Scales of Agulhas Leakage to the North Atlantic in Surface Drifter Observations and the 3D OFES Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he advective transit time of temperature?salinity anomalies from the Agulhas region to the regions of deep convection in the North Atlantic Ocean is an important time scale in climate, because it has been linked to variability ...
Modulation of SST Interannual Variability in the Agulhas Leakage Region Associated with ENSO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Agulhas leakage transports warm and saline water from the Indian Ocean into the South Atlantic Ocean, forming part of the upper returning arm of the meridional overturning circulation, which can influence climate. ...
The Sources and Mixing Characteristics of the Agulhas Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recent observations taken at four principal latitudes in the Agulhas Current show that the watermass properties on either side of its dynamical core are significantly different. Inshore of its velocity core are found waters ...
