RISEliassen-Palm Flux and Eddy Potential Vorticity Flux for a Nonquasigeostrophic Time-Mean Flow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Eliassen?Palm theory is formulated for a time-mean flow in an isopycnic coordinate system. An expression is derived for the Eliassen-Palm flux E in this context. In isopycnic coordinates it is natural to approximate the ...
A Synoptic Map of Isopycnic Potential Vorticity in the Seasonal Thermocline
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The distribution of isopycnic potential vorticity (IPV) has been mapped in the seasonal thermocline from a single ship using relative velocity measurements plus absolute ship motion, and density profiles from a CTD mounted ...
Upper-Ocean Eddy Transports of Heat, Potential Vorticity, and Volume in the Northeastern North Atlantic—“Vivaldi 1991”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mesoscale eddies in the northeast North Atlantic were investigated using the SeaSoar towed CTD and ADCP data from the 1991 Vivaldi cruise. These data cover an area of 1700 km ? 1500 km between 39° and 54°N and between 35° ...
