Abstract: The time and length scales of baroclinic eddies in the eastern half of the North Pacific Subtropical Gyre are examined using four data sets: 1) single vertical sections of temperature, based on closely spaced bathy-thermograph ...

Abstract: Several hundred XBT observations in the western North Pacific were collected each month over a 2½ year period 1976?78. They have been assembled into a monthly map sequence of thermocline temperature in the Kuroshio Extension ...

Abstract: Reported here are the statistical results leading to the design of an optimum oceanographic network in the interior midlatitude North Pacific from 30 to 50°N, the primary function of which is to detect the generation and ...

Abstract: A set of 19 zonal vertical sections of temperature were collected in 1975 with XBT observations at 80 km spacing, made from ships-of-opportunity transiting the mid-latitude North Pacific. In the region of the Kuroshio ...

Abstract: Two west-to-cast temperature sections (?2500 km in length) have been constructed from closely spaced (?37 km) XBT measurements in the central South Pacific collected during Legs J and K of the Pacific GEOSECS Expedition. ...
