Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Examination of hydrographic data obtained over a large submarine canyon revealed a cell with a core of high salinity water nestled in the outer (deeper) reaches of the canyon. Bemuse of the T-S distribution within the cell ...
On Lateral Water Mass Interaction—A Case Study, Bristol Bay, Alaska
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Salinity-temperature-depth data obtained on several spring and summer cruises during 1976 and 1977 from outer Bristol Bay in the southeast Bering Sea indicate the existence of a zone, between two well-defined water masses, ...
Circulation Patterns Near the Tail of the Grand Banks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Dynamic topographies for the region surrounding the tail of the Grand Banks have been examined for the years 1922?65, in an attempt to define the characteristics of the eddies and meanders typical of the circulation pattern. ...
On the Flow Through Barrow Canyon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Simultaneous current and temperature measurements were made at two depths in Barrow Canyon for a period of 120 days from April through August, 1973. The mean of the measured currents was 25 cm s?1 toward the northeast, ...
The Bering Slope Current System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Bering Slope Current flows from southeast to northwest across the Aleutian Basin of the Bering Sea, parallel to the continental slope of the eastern Bering Sea shelf. The water mass characteristics and distributions ...
