RISNear-Surface Current Measurements in the Gulf Stream Using an Upward-Looking Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During November 1986, a 6-day record was collected from a 150 kHz Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) mounted in the upward-looking mode on a subsurface mooring in the Gulf Stream near Cape Hatteras. The flotation ...

Meandering and Transport Variations of the Florida Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Current meter observations were collected from a three-dimensional array moored in the Florida Straits between December 1983 and June 1984 as part of the Subtropical Atlantic Climate Studies (STACS) program. Approximately ...
Mixing and Entrainment in the Red Sea Outflow Plume. Part II: Turbulence Characteristics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: South of the Strait of Bab el Mandeb, saline Red Sea Water flows downslope into the Gulf of Aden mainly along the narrow 130-km-long ?Northern Channel? (NC) and the shorter and wider ?Southern Channel? (SC). In the NC, the ...
Bottom Layer Turbulence in the Red Sea Outflow Plume
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Turbulence in the Red Sea outflow plume in the western Gulf of Aden was observed with an upward-looking, five-beam, 600-kHz acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). The ?Bottom Lander? ADCP was deployed on the seafloor ...
Transport and Entrainment in the Red Sea Outflow Plume
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Red Sea outflow exhibits strong seasonal variability in outflow transport due to effects of monsoon winds and seasonal fluctuations in buoyancy forcing. As it descends the continental slope in the western Gulf of Aden, ...
Atmospherically Forced Exchange through the Bab el Mandeb Strait
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he exchange between the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean on synoptic time scales (days to weeks) is investigated using moored current meter data collected in the strait of Bab el Mandeb from June 1995 to November 1996. Transport ...
A Deep-Towed ADCP-CTD Instrument Package Developed for Abyssal Overflow Measurements in the Northeastern Caribbean Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A deep-towed instrument package has been developed to study the velocity and tracer signature of abyssal overflows in the northeastern Caribbean. Primary package components include a conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) ...
The Deep Western Boundary Current and Adjacent Interior Circulation at 24°–30°N: Mean Structure and Mesoscale Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mean North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW, 1000 < z < 5000 m) circulation and deep western boundary current (DWBC) variability offshore of Abaco, Bahamas, at 26.5°N are investigated from nearly two decades of velocity ...
CALCULATING THE MERIDIONAL VOLUME, HEAT AND FRESHWATER TRANSPORTS FROM AN OBSERVING SYSTEM IN THE SUBPOLAR NORTH ATLANTIC: OBSERVING SYSTEM SIMULATION EXPERIMENT
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: transbasin monitoring array from Labrador to Scotland was deployed in the summer of 2014 as part of the Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program (OSNAP). The aim of the observing system is to provide a multi-year ...
