Abstract: We analyze the pre-1975 hydrographic data of the Northeast Pacific and compute the large-scale two-dimensional geostrophic flow with respect to 3000 m. Using a linear three-level quasi-geostrophic model of large-scale ...

Abstract: Three new deep hydrographic sections taken in July 1980, May 1981 and May 1982, between 29?41°N along 152°E across the high eddy-energy area of the Kuroshio Extension are used to compute the relative geostrophic transport ...

Abstract: Velocity observations near the surface made with Argos satellite-tracked drifters between 1989 and 2002 provide evidence of seasonal currents entering the South China Sea from the Philippine Sea through the Luzon Strait. ...

Abstract: atellite-tracked drifting buoys of the Global Drifter Program have drogues, centered at 15-m depth, to minimize direct wind forcing and Stokes drift. Drogue presence has historically been determined from submergence or ...
