Abstract: Maps of potential vorticity (q) within four different density layers are presented for the North and South Atlantic, North and South Pacific, and Indian Oceans. Potential vorticity is evaluated as (f/?)??0/?z, a prescription ...

Abstract: The nature of the temperature and vorticity balances of the Atlantic North Equatorial Current is examined at three different depths and four different frequency bands using the POLYMODE Array III, Cluster C data set. A ...

Abstract: POLYMODE Array III, Cluster C, was a collection of four current meter moorings that were placed in the Atlantic North Equatorial Current for one year in May 1978. They were designed to look for indications of baroclinic ...

Abstract: Maps and sections of the large-scale North Atlantic potential vorticity q are presented. Here q is fd?/dz, where f is the Coriolis frequency, ? the potential density and z the vertical coordinate. They bear on the general ...
