Horizontal Stratification during Deep Convection in the Labrador Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: eep convection?the process by which surface waters are mixed down to 1000 m or deeper?forms the primary downwelling of the meridional overturning circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. High-resolution hydrographic ...
The Observed North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation: Its Meridional Coherence and Ocean Bottom Pressure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: nalyses of meridional transport time series from the Rapid Climate Change?Meridional Overturning Circulation (RAPID MOC) array at 26°N and from Argo float and altimetry data at 41°N reveal that, at semiannual and longer ...
Determining Vertical Water Velocities from Seaglider
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ertical velocities in the world?s oceans are typically small, less than 1 cm s?1, posing a significant challenge for observational techniques. Seaglider, an autonomous profiling instrument, can be used to estimate vertical ...
Observed Basin-Scale Response of the North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation to Wind Stress Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he response of the North Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC) to wind stress forcing is investigated from an observational standpoint, using four time series of overturning transports below and relative to ...

Loop Current Variability as Trigger of Coherent Gulf Stream Transport Anomalies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractSatellite observations and output from a high-resolution ocean model are used to investigate how the Loop Current in the Gulf of Mexico affects the Gulf Stream transport through the Florida Straits. We find that ...
