RISA 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 ...
The Formation of Labrador Sea Water. Part II. Mesoscale and Smaller-Scale Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In a previous paper, Clarke and Gascard argued that the formation of Labrador Sea Water was taking place in a cyclonic gyre set up each winter in the western Labrador Sea. Within the gyre and at its boundaries, a number ...
The Formation of Labrador Sea Water. Part I: Large-Scale Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data obtained in the western Labrador Sea during March 1976 by Hudson are analysed to show that new Labrador Sea Water was being formed at this time. On the basis of hydrographic and moored current-meter data, it is ...
A Long-Lasting Mode Water Vortex in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An anticyclonic mode water vortex and its environment were investigated from November 2000 to September 2001 in the northeast Atlantic (near 43.5°N, 15°?19°W) with neutrally buoyant drifting floats, moored current meters, ...
Arctic Ocean Warming Contributes to Reduced Polar Ice Cap
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analysis of modern and historical observations demonstrates that the temperature of the intermediate-depth (150?900 m) Atlantic water (AW) of the Arctic Ocean has increased in recent decades. The AW warming has been uneven ...
