Abstract: The global poleward heat transport by the oceans tends to have a maximum in the vicinity of the Tropic circles. We have investigated the contribution of the Ekman flux to the heat transport in the Pacific and the Atlantic. ...

Abstract: Subtropical status tends to form over relatively cold water, its presence then keeps the water cold. We have investigated the resultant downstream development in the framework of an interactive, two-dimensional, steady-state ...

Abstract: The westward propagation of equatorial sea surface temperature anomalies exceeds the surface drift velocity and is probably associated with propagating changes in the depth of the surface mixed layer and upper thermocline. ...

Abstract: Objective analysis of large-scale simulated anomalies is used to estimate statistically the effectiveness of different sampling arrays. The methodology, which includes a new use of Bayesian inference, is of fairly general ...
