Abstract: Several schemes for correcting temperature and velocity measurements from moored current meters are tested on two moorings, one of which experienced large vertical excursions as the Gulf Stream meandered over it. The ...

Abstract: Using moored array data collected across the Gulf Stream at 55°W, the author has investigated the dynamic signatures of the velocity fluctuations at the thermocline (550 m) and near-bottom (4000 m) levels. The cross-stream ...

Abstract: Several schemes are offered for the correction of temperature and velocity in the thermocline for mooring motion. They require measurements from at least two instruments spanning the thermocline and assume that the temporal ...

Abstract: Observations of the vertical and horizontal structure of motions near Bermuda have been made with two long-term moored arrays, one relatively far from and the other close to the island. Although not coincident in time, ...

Abstract: A linear, small amplitude model of Rossby waves forced by idealized meanders is presented in order to ascertain whether or not the observed low frequency motions near the Gulf Stream are capable of being so generated. Two ...

Abstract: The flow of a single layer of fluid along a channel of variable dimensions is hydraulically controlled when long gravity waves can no longer propagate upstream at the cross-section of minimum area. For a multilayer fluid, ...

Abstract: Steady flow over large-scale bathymetric changes of a uniform zonal current in a two-layer fluid is studied under the assumptions that it is geostrophic, that relative vorticity can be ignored, that variations in the ...

Abstract: Observations from a recent field experiment in the Vema Channel are briefly described. These show a remarkable change in the configuration of isopycnal surfaces within the channel and the development of thick, nearly ...

Abstract: The structure of the potential vorticity flux and a mean flow induced by a topographic wave incident over a bottom slope are investigated analytically and numerically, with focus on the case that bottom friction is the ...

Abstract: Two years of direct current and temperature observations from an army of 13 current meter moorings deployed near 55°W as part of the SYNOP (Synoptic Ocean Prediction) Experiment have been used to explore the spatial and ...
