RISOn the Geographical Variability of the Upper Level Mean and Eddy Fields in the North Atlantic and North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: All available historical expendable bathythermograph data are used to compute means and standard deviations in temperature for the upper 500 m in the North Atlantic and North Pacific. To take advantage of marked spatial ...
Satellite Observations and Modeling of Meanders in the California Current System off Oregon and Northern California
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Infrared satellite images from the west coasts of Oregon and northern California are used to identify meander patterns in sea surface temperature which appear as large cold tongues extending offshore. Two relatively long ...
An Evaluation of Expendable Salinity-Temperature Profilers in the Eastern North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Venical profiles from expendable conductivity-temperature (XCTD) and sound velocity-temperature (XSVT) instruments are compared with simultaneous profiles sampled with Guildline CTD and Plessy CTD-SV systems. From these ...
Strong Current Events Related to a Subtropical Front in the Northeast Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Long-term temperature and current-meter records from moorings in the northern Canary Basin display strong current events with time scales between one and three months and large vertical scales of several thousand meters. ...
A Cyclonic Eddy in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current South of Australia: Results of Soviet-American Observations Aboard the R/V Professor Zubov
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hydrographic, expendable bathythermograph and 16-day current meter records are combined to describe the oceanic structure south of Australia (along 132°E) between 24 January and 1 March 1977. A strong cyclonic eddy, ...
A Low-Cost Digital XBT System and its Application to the Real-Time Computation of Dynamic Height
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An XBT interface is described for use with Commodore and other 6502 based microprocessors. This interface takes the form of a single circuit board mounted inside the microcomputer and is completely software controlled. The ...
The Fraction of Vertical Isotherm Deflections Associated with Eddies: An Estimate from Multiship XBT Surveys
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Six multiship XBT surveys in the area between 29 and 42°N in the North Pacific and North Atlantic Oceans were examined with respect to the following questions: What fraction of significant vertical isotherm deflections may ...
Satellite-Image-derived Gulf Stream Currents Compared with Numerical Model Results
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Sequential infrared satellite imagery is used to objectively compute surface currents in the Gulf Stream region using the maximum correlation (MCC) method. The infrared images, filtered for cloud cover, are used to find ...
Rossby Waves in the Pacific Ocean Extracted from Geosat Altimeter Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rossby waves have been detected in the northeast Pacific in time series of in situ hydrographic data, but the limited geographic coverage of such data has restricted the search for Rossby waves to small regions. Two years ...
The Multi-Channel Infrared Sea Truth Radiometric Calibrator (MISTRC)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new multichannel infrared sea truth radiometer has been designed and built to improve validation of satellite-determined sea surface temperature. Horizontal grid polarized filters installed on the shortwave channels are ...
