Equatorial Deep Jets and Abyssal Mixing in the Indian Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Vertical profiles of horizontal currents and hydrographic measurements from three cruises along 80.5°E from the coast of Sri Lanka to 6°S between December 1990 and September 1994 are used to investigate the scales of the ...
Boundary Circulation at the Exit of the Labrador Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The deep circulation and related transports of the southern Labrador Sea are determined from direct current observations from ship surveys and a moored current-meter array. The measurements covered a time span from summer ...
Surveying the Upper Ocean with the Ocean Surveyor: A New Phased Array Doppler Current Profiler
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new shipboard current profiler, a 75-kHz ocean surveyor, was operationally used during two research cruises in the tropical Atlantic and the subpolar North Atlantic, respectively. Here, a report is presented on the first ...
Circulation and Deep-Water Export at the Western Exit of the Subpolar North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The current system east of the Grand Banks was intensely observed by World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) array ACM-6 during 1993?95 with eight moorings, reaching about 500 km out from the shelf edge and covering the ...
The Shallow and Deep Western Boundary Circulation of the South Atlantic at 5°–11°S
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Repeated shipboard observation sections across the boundary flow off northeastern Brazil as well as acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) and current-meter records from a moored boundary array deployed during 2000?04 ...
A Dynamic Flight Model for Slocum Gliders and Implications for Turbulence Microstructure Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The turbulent dissipation rate ε is a key parameter to many oceanographic processes. Recently, gliders have been increasingly used as a carrier for microstructure sensors. Compared to conventional ship-based methods, ...
Role of Equatorial Basin-Mode Resonance for the Seasonal Variability of the Angola Current at 11°S
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractMultiyear moored velocity observations of the Angola Current near 11°S reveal a weak southward mean flow superimposed by substantial intraseasonal to seasonal variability, including annual and semiannual cycles ...
Wind Dependencies of Deep Cycle Turbulence in the Equatorial Cold Tongues
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
