Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The subsurface thermal structure in the Gulf of Guinea is analyzed using the historical hydrographic data file. Of particular interest is the rapid vertical displacement of the thermal structure from the warm (March?May) ...
Quasi-decadal Salinity Fluctuations in the Labrador Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The quasi-decadal salinity fluctuations in the upper 300 m of the Labrador Sea are investigated by partitioning all available salinity station data since 1948 by region and bottom depth. There are major freshwater anomalies ...

Abstract: A small scale but energetic and highly nonlinear anticyclonic eddy was observed near the New England Shelf Break in July 1983. Satellite images show a tongue of shelf water 15 km wide flowing offshore then turning ...
The Middle Atlantic Bight Cold Pool: Evolution of the Temperature Structure During Summer 1979
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Temperature data spanning the entire Middle Atlantic Bight (MAB) during 1979 are used to study the structure and evolution of the cold pool. The Nantucket Shoals and New England Shelf appear to be the source of the coldest ...
