Abstract: Because of the strong variation with temperature of the thermal expansion coefficient of seawater, both horizontal and vertical mixing that perturb the gradients produce changes of volume, usually a decrease, that shift ...

Abstract: Available, potential energy (APE) is defined as the difference between total potential plus internal energy of a fluid in a gravity field and a corresponding reference field in which the fluid is redistributed (leveled) ...

Abstract: A cooperative moored array experiment to measure currents and temperatures in the vicinity of the Southeast Newfoundland Ridge was carried out over a 14-manth period starting September 1979 and ending December 1980. ...

Abstract: Mass, momentum and kinetic-energy fluxes in the Gulf Stream have been estimated from hydrographic data taken by Fuglister in the Gulf Stream ?60 project; the data cover the Stream as it flows eastward, from south of Georges ...
