Energetics of the Kuroshio Extension at 35°N, 152°E
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simplistic interpretation of eddy heat fluxes from a two-year current meter mooring deployment in the Kuroshio Extension leads to the conclusion that the eddy field is denying at 152°E, contradicting observations from ...
Synthesizing the Gulf Stream Thermal Structure from XBT Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Thirty-six XBT temperature profiles have been used in a parametric model introduced by Hendry to model the Gulf Stream's thermal structure at 65°W between 200 and 1200 dbar, with an rms residual error of 0.56°C. Velocity ...
Horizontal and Vertical Structure of the Gulf Stream Velocity Field at 68°W
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A curent meter mooring, instrumented from the bottom into the thermocline, was deployed in the Gulf stream at 68°W for a year. Data from the uppermost instrument indicate the Gulf Stream moved back and forth across the ...
Downstream Development of the Gulf Stream from 68° to 55°W
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two CTD sections across the Gulf Stream at 68° and 55°W were acquired in late March of 1988 within 11 days of one another as part of an effort to look at downstream changes in the current. Using complementary current meter ...
Low-Frequency Eddy Variability at 28°N, 152°W in the Eastern North Pacific Subtropical Gyre
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A current meter mooring maintained for over three years at 28°N, 152°W, in the eastern North Pacific has yielded velocity and temperature data throughout the water column, with particularly good thermocline resolution The ...
Antarctic Bottom Water Flux in the Equatorial Western Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A moored array at the equator in the western basin of the Atlantic provides a 604-day time series of abyssal currents and temperatures spanning the full breadth of the Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) flowing from the Brazil ...
Abyssal Mixing in the Brazil Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: One of the major objectives of the Deep Basin Experiment, a component of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment, was to quantify the intensity and spatial distribution of deep vertical mixing within the Brazil Basin. In ...
