Circulation and Transport at the Southeast Tip of Greenland
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The circulation and related transports at the southeast tip of Greenland are determined from direct current observations of a moored current meter array. The measurements cover a time span from June 2004 to June 2006. The ...
Observations of Irminger Sea Anticyclonic Eddies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: esoscale anticyclonic eddies in the Irminger Sea are observed using a mooring and a glider. Between 2002 and 2009, the mooring observed 53 anticyclones. Using a kinematic model, objective estimates of eddy length scales ...
Dissipation Rate Estimates from Microstructure and Finescale Internal Wave Observations along the A25 Greenland–Portugal OVIDE Line
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: total of 96 finestructure and 30 microstructure full-depth vertical profiles were collected along the A25 Greenland?Portugal Observatoire de la Variabilité Interannuelle et Décennale en Atlantique Nord (OVIDE) hydrographic ...
Altimetry Combined with Hydrography for Ocean Transport Estimation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: method to estimate mass and heat transports across hydrographic sections using hydrography together with altimetry data in a geostrophic inverse box model is presented. Absolute surface velocities computed from Archiving, ...
A Long-Lasting Mode Water Vortex in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An anticyclonic mode water vortex and its environment were investigated from November 2000 to September 2001 in the northeast Atlantic (near 43.5°N, 15°?19°W) with neutrally buoyant drifting floats, moored current meters, ...
On the Cascading of Dense Shelf Waters in the Irminger Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ydrographic data collected in the Irminger Sea in the 1990s?2000s indicate that dense shelf waters carried by the East Greenland Current south of the Denmark Strait intermittently descend (cascade) down the continental ...
Diagnosing Surface Mixed Layer Dynamics from High-Resolution Satellite Observations: Numerical Insights
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: igh-resolution numerical experiments of ocean mesoscale eddy turbulence show that the wind-driven mixed layer (ML) dynamics affects mesoscale motions in the surface layers at scales lower than O(60 km). At these scales, ...
Variability of the Turbulent Kinetic Energy Dissipation along the A25 Greenland–Portugal Transect Repeated from 2002 to 2012
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he variability of the turbulent kinetic energy dissipation due to internal waves is quantified using a finescale parameterization applied to the A25 Greenland?Portugal transect repeated every two years from 2002 to 2012. ...
