An Evaluation of the WOCE Volunteer Observing Ship–XBT Network in the Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A volunteer observing ship (VOS)-expendable bathythermograph (XBT) network has been proposed for the Atlantic Ocean to satisfy World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) objectives in the upper water column. These objectives ...
The Circulation in the Gulf of Mexico Derived from Estimated Dynamic Height Fields
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Monthly mean dynamic height topographies for the upper 500 m of the Gulf of Mexico, seasonal mean topographies for the upper 1000 m and annual topographies for the deep flow are presented. The dynamic height values on a ...
The Annual Cycle of Meridional Heat Flux in the Atlantic Ocean at 26.5°N
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Total meridional heat flux through a zonal oceanic section at 26.5°N in the Atlantic Ocean is computed from hydrographic, direct current and surface wind observations. The oceanic current and temperature fields are decomposed ...
