Subinertial Slope-Trapped Waves in the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Current velocity from moored arrays of acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) deployed on the outer shelf and slope, south of Mobile Bay in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico, shows evidence of alongslope, generally ...
Estimation of a Geoid Section across the Kuroshio*
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An estimate of the geoid across the Kuroshio Extension at its separation point from Japan is calculated through an analysis of coincident sea surface measurements from inverted echo sounders (IESs) and Topex/Poseidon (T/P). ...
Observations of Flow Separation and Mixing around the Northern Palau Island/Ridge
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Turbulent mixing adjacent to the Velasco Reef and Kyushu–Palau Ridge, off northern Palau in the western equatorial Pacific Ocean, is examined using shipboard and moored observations. The study focuses on a 9-day-long, ...
Current and Density Observations of Packets of Nonlinear Internal Waves on the Outer New Jersey Shelf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: losely spaced observations of nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) were made on the outer continental shelf off New Jersey in June 2009. Nearly full water column measurements of current velocity were made with four acoustic ...
Low-Frequency Currents from Deep Moorings in the Southern Bay of Bengal
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: igh-resolution currents and hydrographic fields were measured at six deep-water moorings in the southern Bay of Bengal (BoB) by the Naval Research Laboratory as part of an international effort focused on the dynamics of ...
