Japan/East Sea Intrathermocline Eddies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Intrathermocline eddies (ITE) with diameters of 100 km and of thickness greater than 100 m are observed within each of the three quasi-stationary meanders of the Tsushima Current of the Japan/East Sea. Within the ITE ...
Eddy Seeding in the Labrador Sea: A Submerged Autonomous Launch Platform Application
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: wo submerged autonomous launch platforms (SALPs) were deployed at 500-m depth on a deep-water mooring in the northeastern Labrador Sea from 2007 to 2009 to automatically release profiling floats into passing warm-core ...
The Loop Current: Observations of Deep Eddies and Topographic Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA set of float trajectories, deployed at 1500- and 2500-m depths throughout the deep Gulf of Mexico from 2011 to 2015, are analyzed for mesoscale processes under the Loop Current (LC). In the eastern basin, December ...
Lagrangian Perspective on the Origins of Denmark Strait Overflow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Denmark Strait Overflow (DSO) is an important contributor to the lower limb of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC). Determining DSO formation and its pathways is not only important for local oceanography ...
Dominant Circulation Patterns of the Deep Gulf of Mexico
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe large-scale circulation of the bottom layer of the Gulf of Mexico is analyzed, with special attention to the historically least studied western basin. The analysis is based on 4 years of data collected by 158 ...
Hydrography of the Gulf of Mexico Using Autonomous Floats
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ABSTRACTFourteen autonomous profiling floats, equipped with CTDs, were deployed in the deep eastern and western basins of the Gulf of Mexico over a four-year interval (July 2011?August 2015), producing a total of 706 casts. ...
Deep Eddies in the Gulf of Mexico Observed with Floats
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA new set of deep float trajectory data collected in the Gulf of Mexico from 2011 to 2015 at 1500- and 2500-m depths is analyzed to describe mesoscale processes, with particular attention paid to the western Gulf. ...
