Abstract: Using an inverse fast Fourier transform technique, numerical calculations have been made in order to study the contamination of moored temperature measurements of internal waves by passive temperature fine-structure. ...

Abstract: The role of medium-scale interleaving of temperature and salinity in frontal regions is investigated and a model is presented in which a statistical equilibrium of the medium scale is achieved. Small-scale diffusion across ...

Abstract: Methods for in situ calibration of acoustic-Doppler current profiles (ADCPs) are considered for measurement of absolute current profiles from a moving ship. Errors are of two types: sensitivity and alignment. Least square ...

Abstract: An integral relationship is derived expressing the total dissipation of thermal variance by oceanic microstructure in terms of the large-scale forcing at the ocean surface by air/sea heat exchange. The net heat gain by the ...

Abstract: A scheme for calculation of cross-equatorial flow is presented which permits an estimation of meridional velocity at the equator from hydrographic station data and surface wind stress. It is offered to rationalize the ...

Abstract: The zonally-integrated curl of the wind stress across the equatorial Atlantic Ocean results in a southward transport of 10 ? 106 m3 s?1 of water into the South Atlantic, which must be returned in a western boundary current ...

Abstract: Interannual anomalies of climate variability in the eastern United States for the past 100+? yr have been studied for their spatial EOF structure, long-term changes, and the covariability with several climate indices: the ...

Abstract: Twenty-two years (1967?88) of hydrographic data collected by the Japan Meteorological Agency along the 137°E meridian and surface wind data compiled by Florida State University (FSU) were analyzed to study the interannual ...

Abstract: The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) simulated in various ocean-only and coupled atmosphere?ocean numerical models often varies in time because of either forced or internal variability. The path of the ...

Abstract: The seasonal variation of the North Equatorial Countercurrent (NECC) in the tropical Atlantic Ocean is investigated by using a linear, one-layer reduced-gravity ocean model and by analyzing sea surface height (SSH) data ...
