RISWestward-propagating SST Anomaly Features in the Sargasso Sea, 1982–88
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sea surface temperature (Ts) maps of the region from 59.5° to 75.5°W, 22.5° to 33.5°N containing the western North Atlantic Subtropical Convergence Zone (STCZ) were derived from AVHRR/2 images. The 7- year mean annual cycle ...
Agulhas Eddies: A Synoptic View Using Geosat ERM Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Warm core rings formed in the, Agulhas Retroflection transfer water from the Indian Ocean to the South Atlantic. In an attempt to measure the strength of this exchange, a combination of satellite altimeter and hydrographic ...
Measurements of Sea Surface Height Variability in the Eastern South Atlantic from Pressure Sensor–Equipped Inverted Echo Sounders: Baroclinic and Barotropic Components
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Variability in sea surface height (SSH) can be decomposed into two contributions: one from changes in mass in the water column (barotropic) and the other from purely steric changes (baroclinic). Both contributions can be ...
On the Influence of Bottom Topography on the Agulhas Eddy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A series of numerical experiments with a two-layer primitive equation model is presented to study the dynamics of Agulhas eddies. The main goal of the paper is to examine the influence of an underwater meridional ridge ...
