Abstract: Sixteen months of observations from a surface-to-bottom mooring in the central Gulf of Mexico show that acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) are useful for directly measuring the vertical velocity within mesoscale ...

Abstract: ata from five moorings deployed in the Bay of Campeche during November 2007?July 2008 are used to analyze subinertial motions of waters below 1000-m depth. To the authors? knowledge, this is the first time such a comprehensive ...

Abstract: ariability of the mesoscale eddy field in the Caribbean Sea is analyzed over the period 1993?2009 using geostrophic anomalies derived from altimeter data and a high-resolution regional model. The Colombia Basin presents ...

Abstract: Sea level observations at Cape Bon, Tunisia, and Mazara del Vallo, Sicily, show that large, coherent oscillations exist across the Strait of Sicily with significant energy bands centered at periods of 35.3, 41.6, 50.6, ...

Abstract: AbstractThe large-scale circulation of the bottom layer of the Gulf of Mexico is analyzed, with special attention to the historically least studied western basin. The analysis is based on 4 years of data collected by 158 ...

Abstract: AbstractThe coupling between the upper (z < 1000-m depth) and deep (z > 1500 m) circulation in the western Gulf of Mexico (WGoM) driven by the arrival of Loop Current eddies (LCEs) is analyzed from moorings measuring ...

Abstract: elocity data from a mooring array deployed northeast of the Campeche Bank (CB) show the presence of subinertial, high-frequency (below 15 days) velocity fluctuations within the core of the northward flowing Loop Current. ...
