Abstract: The horizontal mean circulation and diapycnal flux divergence field in the South Pacific between Tahiti and the East Pacific Rise are obtained from a nonconservative ?-spiral inverse method applied to high quality hydrographic ...

Abstract: We examine problems of steady abyssal circulation using an inviscid planetary geostrophic layered model. The model includes an active wind-driven upper layer and arbitrary topography; forcing is in the form of specified ...

Abstract: Recent measurements from six bottom-mounted gauges are used with numerical model results to study the exchange of water between the Indonesian seas and the Indian Ocean via the Lesser Sunda Islands known collectively as ...

Abstract: his study explores the utility of the thin-plate spline (TPS) as a mapping procedure for oceanographic sections of bottle data in comparison with objective mapping (OM), sometimes referred to as objective interpolation. ...

Abstract: Subsurface temperature data in the western North Atlantic Ocean are analyzed to study the variations in the heat content above a fixed isotherm and contributions from surface heat fluxes and oceanic processes. The study ...
