Abstract: Because the tropical Atlantic is characterized by regions of strong seasonal variability that have been sampled inhomogeneously by surface drifters, Eulerian averages of these Lagrangian observations in spatially fixed ...

Abstract: A decade-mean global ocean circulation is estimated using inverse techniques, incorporating air?sea fluxes of heat and freshwater, recent hydrographic sections, and direct current measurements. This information is used to ...

Abstract: Observations of large-scale hydrography, air?sea forcing, and regional circulation from numerous studies are combined by inverse methods to determine the basin-scale circulation, average diapycnal mixing, and adjustments ...

Abstract: he seasonal cycle of the mixed layer heat budget in the northeastern tropical Atlantic (0°?25°N, 18°?28°W) is quantified using in situ and satellite measurements together with atmospheric reanalysis products. This region ...

Abstract: he transport of low-salinity water northward in the tropical and subtropical North Atlantic Ocean influences upper-ocean stratification, vertical mixing, and sea surface temperature (SST). In this study, satellite and in ...

Abstract: Eddy time and length scales are calculated from surface drifter and subsurface float observations in the northern Atlantic Ocean. Outside the energetic Gulf Stream, subsurface timescales are relatively constant at depths ...

Abstract: generalized method is developed to determine the position of the Atlantic northern cold tongue front across its zonal extent from satellite sea surface temperature (SST) data. Previous approaches estimated the frontal ...

Abstract: OAA ?s Global Drifter Program (GDP) manages a global array of ~1250 active satellite-tracked surface drifting buoys (?drifters?) in collaboration with numerous national and international partners. To better manage the ...

Abstract: AbstractThe Prediction and Research Moored Array in the Tropical Atlantic (PIRATA) provides measurements of the upper ocean and near-surface atmosphere at 18 locations. Time series from many moorings are nearly 20 years ...
