RISSome Observations of Baroclinic Diurnal Tides over a Near-Critical Bottom Slope
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The time-depth structure of the baroclinic diurnal tide has been examined with the aid of current and temperature profiles on the West Florida Continental Shelf. Of interest is the fact that the diurnal frequencies (e.g., ...
Observations on the Vertical Polarization and Energy Flux of Near-Inertial Waves
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Vertical profiles of horizontal ocean currents are used to study the vertical structure and temporal behavior of internal waves in the ocean, particularly those near the local inertial frequency. The polarization, or ...
Observations with Moored Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers in the Convection Regime in the Golfe du Lion
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the Golfe du Lion, south of France, favorable conditions for deep winter convection exist and were documented by the MEDOC experiments during 1969?75. A renewed investigation of that regime with upward-looking moored ...
Hydrographic Structure of the Convection Regime in the Gulf of Lions: Winter 1987
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Deep winter convection in the northwestern Mediterranean (Gulf of Lions) and the subsequent formation of Mediterranean Deep Water were observed using advanced oceanographic instrumentation during a six-week long experiment ...
Topographic Influences on Recirculation in the Deep Western Boundary Current: Results from RAFOS Float Trajectories between the Blake–Bahama Outer Ridge and the San Salvador “Gate”
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Over a period of several years, RAFOS floats were launched into three levels of the deep western boundary current (DWBC) east of the northern Bahamas in order to identify and study any local recirculations that might be ...
Topographic Modification of the Florida Current by Little Bahama and Great Bahama Banks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effect of local topography in modifying the structure and variability of the Florida Current is examined using shipboard acoustic Doppler and PEGASUS acoustic current profiler data. PEGASUS absolute velocity data were ...

The Feasibility of Dynamic Height Determination from Moored Temperature Sensors
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The existence of a tight T-S relationship in the southwestern North Atlantic is used to convert temperature measurements from moored sensors to dynamic heights. Seven hydrographic cruises with intensive CTD coverage during ...
On the Average Absolute Transport of the Deep Western Boundary Currents East of Abaco Island, the Bahamas
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data obtained from a line of absolute current profiler (PEGASUS) and CTD stations at 26.5°N, east of Abaco Island in the northern Bahamas, are used to estimate the average transport, and overall level of variability, of ...
Near-Inertial Internal Waves Observed on the Outer Shelf in the Middle Atlantic Bight in the Wake of Hurricane Belle
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 10 August 1976 Hurricane Belle passed rapidly over the highly stratified shelf of the New York Bight. Records from Aanderaa current-meter moorings show that the response to the hurricane depended strongly on bathymetry. ...
