Variability of the Heat and Salt Budget in the Subtropical Southeastern Pacific Mixed Layer between 2004 and 2010: Spice Injection Mechanism
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he mixed layer heat and salt budget in the southeastern subtropical Pacific are estimated using 7 years (2004?10) of Argo-profiling float data, surface fluxes, precipitation, surface velocity data, and wind observations ...
Improvement of Tomographic Maps by Using Surface-Reflected Rays
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The results of the experiment conducted in the northwest Atlantic in 1981 have demonstrated the possibilities of acoustic tomography. The first maps, based only on purely refracted rays, showed the evolution of a cold eddy, ...
A Methodology for Assessing the Postconvection Mesoscale Dynamics in the Gulf of Lion from Composite Datasets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In order to access the statistical properties of the mesoscale dynamics in the Western Mediterranean, and its associated transport and heat fluxes during the postconvection period, the authors have applied data combination ...
Quality Control of Large Argo Datasets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Argo floats have significantly improved the observation of the global ocean interior, but as the size of the database increases, so does the need for efficient tools to perform reliable quality control. It is shown here ...
In Situ–Based Reanalysis of the Global Ocean Temperature and Salinity with ISAS: Variability of the Heat Content and Steric Height
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he In Situ Analysis System (ISAS) was developed to produce gridded fields of temperature and salinity that preserve as much as possible the time and space sampling capabilities of the Argo network of profiling floats. Since ...
