RISEvidence of Cross-Frontal Exchange Processes in the Gulf Stream Based on Isopycnal RAFOS Float Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A unique set of Lagrangian observations has recently been collected in the Gulf Stream using the newly developed isopycnal RAFOS float. Between January, 1984 and October, 1985, thirty-seven of these drifters were launched ...
Particle Pathways in the Gulf Stream
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An experiment is under way to study the kinematics, dynamics, and path evolution of the Gulf Stream front between Cape Hatteras and 60°W. The Rafos float, which can track the true motion of water parcels along density ...
Seasonal and Interannual Variations of Irminger Ring Formation and Boundary–Interior Heat Exchange in FLAME
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he contribution of warm-core anticyclones shed by the Irminger Current off West Greenland, known as Irminger rings, to the restratification of the upper layers of the Labrador Sea is investigated in the 1/12° Family of ...
Two Years of Observations of Warm-Core Anticyclones in the Labrador Sea and Their Seasonal Cycle in Heat and Salt Stratification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: etween 25 September 2007 and 28 September 2009, a heavily instrumented mooring was deployed in the Labrador Sea, offshore of the location where warm-core, anticyclonic Irminger rings are formed. The 2-year time series ...
The Gulf Stream—Barrier or Blender?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Gulf Stream ?60 hydrographic survey has been used to examine the distribution of water properties across the Gulf Stream as a function of potential density. This survey covered a half million square miles of Slope, ...
