Abstract: Momentum and energy transfers from the mesoscale horizontal velocity shear to the internal wave field have been deduced from an analysis of a closely spaced, 25 km, moored current-meter array. The correlation between the ...

Abstract: The local effect of the mesoscale eddy field on the mean potential vorticity distribution of the Gulf Stream recirculation region is determined from the quasi-geostrophic eddy potential vorticity flux. This flux is calculated ...
