RISObservations of Inertia-Gravity Waves in the Atlantic from Inverted Echo Sounders during FGGE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The study is based on observations from inverted echo sounders anchored near the equator in the western Atlantic Ocean. It appears to be a good method of detecting inertia-gravity waves with large vertical scale. The ...
The Role of Interocean Exchanges on Decadal Variations of the Meridional Heat Transport in the South Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he interocean exchange of water from the South Atlantic with the Pacific and Indian Oceans is examined using the output from the ocean general circulation model for the Earth Simulator (OFES) during the period 1980?2006. ...
The Forced Annual Reversal of the Atlantic North Equatorial Countercurrent
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We analyze the variability of the thermal structure associated with the Atlantic North Equatorial Countercurrent (NECC) and its relation to the seasonally varying winds. The analysis performed allows us to establish the ...
Geostrophic Velocity Measurement Techniques for the Meridional Overturning Circulation and Meridional Heat Transport in the South Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: wo ocean general circulation models are used to test the ability of geostrophic velocity measurement systems to observe the meridional overturning circulation (MOC) and meridional heat transport (MHT) in the South Atlantic. ...
