RISSubduction of South Pacific Tropical Water and Its Equatorward Pathways as Shown by a Simulated Passive Tracer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study investigates the subduction of South Pacific Tropical Water (SPTW) and its equatorward pathways using a simulated passive tracer of the consortium Estimating the Circulation & Climate of the Ocean (ECCO). The ...
A Dynamical Interpretation of the Tritium Maximum in the Central Equatorial Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The tropical tritium distribution between 1974 and 1981 is characterized by a maximum along the equator centered between 125° and 145°W. It signifies that this region has received the maximum input of high northern latitude ...
Circulation of Tritium in the Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The input of bomb tritium into the high-latitude Northern Hemisphere waters has demonstrated the spread of a tracer in three dimensions in the North Pacific Ocean. Subsurface tritium maxima in middle and low latitudes ...
Deep Flow along the Western Boundary South of the Blake Bahama Outer Ridge
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In June?July 1990, hydrographic, chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), and velocity observations were taken along the western boundary of the North Atlantic south of the Blake Bahama Outer Ridge from 30° to 24°N between the northern ...
The Penetration of Tritium into the Tropical Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The persistence of subsurface tritium maxima coincident with the Equatorial Currents is used to show that advection along isopycnals by the mean wind-driven circulation is the dominant process in the at most 14-year time ...
Origin and Pathway of Equatorial 13°C Water in the Pacific Identified by a Simulated Passive Tracer and Its Adjoint
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The origin and pathway of the thermostad water in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean, often referred to as the equatorial 13°C Water, are investigated using a simulated passive tracer and its adjoint, based on circulation ...
Antarctic Intermediate Water and Subantarctic Mode Water Formation in the Southeast Pacific: The Role of Turbulent Mixing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the 2005 austral winter (late August?early October) and 2006 austral summer (February?mid-March) two intensive hydrographic surveys of the southeast Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean were completed. In this study ...
The Obduction of Equatorial 13°C Water in the Pacific Identified by a Simulated Passive Tracer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The obduction of equatorial 13°C Water in the Pacific is investigated using a simulated passive tracer of the Consortium for Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO). The result shows that the 13°C Water ...
Particle Trajectories in an Indian Ocean Model and Sensitivity to Seasonal Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Trajectory experiments in a thermocline layer of an Indian Ocean model are used to investigate the role of different meridional transport mechanisms and quantify spreading pathways and rates under different forcing. Particles ...
