Abstract: Due to the nonlinear equation of state of sea water it is possible for the mixture of two Parcels of sea water with the same density but different temperatures and salinities to have a density greater than that of the ...

Abstract: A theoretical analysis of haline convection induced by the freezing of sea water is made for a turbulent ocean. The nonlinear equations for two-dimensional flow are solved using the mean field approximation and expanding ...

Abstract: The general circulation of water in the Weddell Sea is part of a large cyclonic gyre. A section taken across this gyre from the Scotia Ridge to Cape Norvegia shows that the Warm Deep Water forms an asymmetric lens-like ...

Abstract: Strong evidence is presented for the existence of barotropic shelf waves at diurnal frequencies in the shelf-break region of the southern Weddell Sea. Rotary spectra from long-term current meter records on the slope, at ...

Abstract: The salient features of low-frequency current fluctuations, obtained from an analysis of eight current meter records from the continental shelf and slope of the southern Weddell Sea, are compared to baroclinic and barotropic ...
