Abstract: Three trans-oceanic XBT sections (?5000 km in length) and a shorter one (?2500 km in length) were taken in the central North Atlantic in 1974 to study the distribution of the horizontal scales and amplitudes of mesoscale ...

Abstract: A simple example of the steady motion of a rotating, stratified fluid is studied. The solution which is uniformly valid for all values of the stratification, σsδ = vαgD?T/(?f2L2), is presented. The transitions in the ...

Abstract: The role of local heating in producing annual and interannual sea-surface temperature variations in the eastern tropical Pacific is studied. Removed from the eastern boundary (122°W), and off the equator, local heating ...

Abstract: To assess the importance of possible feedbacks between ocean and atmosphere in the Arabian Sea, we computed a preliminary heat budget for the upper ocean layer. The observed total heat loss during the Southwest Monsoon ...

Abstract: Vertical profiles of current, temperature and salinity were taken in the upper ocean from 3°S to 2°N along 55°30?E in the Indian Ocean during February?June in 1975 and 1976. During both years a strong O(80 cm s?1) equatorial ...

Abstract: The link between El Niño and the California wintertime rainfall has been reported in various studies. During the winter of 1994/95, warm sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) were observed in the central Pacific, and ...

Abstract: In this study, the authors compare skills of forecasts of tropical Pacific sea surface temperatures from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) coupled general circulation model that were initiated using ...

Abstract: During March?April 1980, a velocity and CTD transect was made in the Pacific along the equator from 110 to 180°W. The horizontal baroclinic pressure gradient was observed to be primary confined between 160 and 130°W. Direct ...
