Abstract: In this study the global distribution and transport of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the oceans are investigated using a high-resolution numerical model. The authors focus on the effects of wind-driven processes such as ...

Abstract: Ocean variations at semiannual, annual, and interannual time scales in the Mindanao Dome (MD) region of the southern Philippine Sea were examined using data derived from underwater sensors on Triangle Trans-Ocean Buoy ...

Abstract: The annual subduction rate in the North Pacific is estimated using five-day outputs from a high-resolution general circulation model (GCM). Two maxima (>200 m yr?1) are found in the western North Pacific: one is responsible ...

Abstract: The Luzon Strait transport (LST) from the Pacific into the South China Sea (SCS) is examined using results from a high-resolution ocean general circulation model. The LST from the model has a mean value of 2.4 Sv (Sv ≡ 106 ...

Abstract: An isopycnal stream-coordinate analysis of velocity, transport, and potential vorticity (PV), recently applied to observations of the subsurface countercurrents (SCCs) in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, is applied here to ...

Abstract: A complex pattern of zonal currents below the thermocline has been observed in the equatorial Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. The currents have typical speeds from 10 to 15 cm s?1 and extend as deep as 2500 m. Their structure ...
