A Self-Contained Identification Scheme for Eddies in Drifter and Float Trajectories
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is becoming increasingly recognized that the eddy field plays an important?possibly dominating?role for oceanic motions in many aspects (e.g., transport of properties and risk assessment in the case of extreme events). ...
Lagrangian Observations of the Middepth and Deep Velocity Fields of the Northeastern Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The circulation of the northeastern Atlantic Ocean at intermediate depths is characterized by watermass transformation processes that involve Iceland?Scotland Overflow Water (ISOW) from the northeast, Labrador Sea Water ...
A Scheme to Identify Loops from Trajectories of Oceanic Surface Drifters: An Application in the Kuroshio Extension Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: hen a drifter is trapped in an eddy, it makes either a cycloidal or a looping trajectory. The former case takes place when the translating speed is larger than the eddy spinning speed. When the background mean velocity is ...
Observed Basin-Scale Response of the North Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation to Wind Stress Forcing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he response of the North Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (MOC) to wind stress forcing is investigated from an observational standpoint, using four time series of overturning transports below and relative to ...
ASIRI: An Ocean–Atmosphere Initiative for Bay of Bengal
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ir?Sea Interactions in the Northern Indian Ocean (ASIRI) is an international research effort (2013?17) aimed at understanding and quantifying coupled atmosphere?ocean dynamics of the Bay of Bengal (BoB) with relevance to ...
