Abstract: he upper-ocean heat budget of the Caribbean upwelling system is investigated during the onset of the Atlantic warm pool (June?September) using high-resolution observations of sea surface temperature and a high-resolution ...

Abstract: regional numerical model of the tropical Atlantic Ocean and observations are analyzed to investigate the intraseasonal fluctuations of the sea surface temperature at the equator in the Gulf of Guinea. Results indicate that ...

Abstract: ariability of the mesoscale eddy field in the Caribbean Sea is analyzed over the period 1993?2009 using geostrophic anomalies derived from altimeter data and a high-resolution regional model. The Colombia Basin presents ...

Abstract: numerical simulation of the tropical Atlantic Ocean indicates that surface cooling in upwelling zones of the Gulf of Guinea is mostly due to vertical mixing. At the seasonal scale, the spatial structure and the time ...

Abstract: Persistent Lagrangian transport patterns at the ocean surface are revealed from climatological Lagrangian coherent structures (cLCSs) computed from daily climatological surface current velocities in the northwestern Gulf ...

Abstract: elocity data from a mooring array deployed northeast of the Campeche Bank (CB) show the presence of subinertial, high-frequency (below 15 days) velocity fluctuations within the core of the northward flowing Loop Current. ...
