Abstract: Simultaneous path and bottom velocity measurements made during the Transient Meander Experiment, reported in Part I, are analyzed in terms of a quasi-geostrophic thin jet model of the meandering Gulf Stream. The theory ...

Abstract: A simple model of the oceanic mixed layer is coupled to a model of the ventilated thermocline. The model allows a combination of advection and surface heating to determine the position of the outcrop lines of the isopycnals. ...

Abstract: A simple theoretical model for the oceanic thermocline and the associated field of current is presented. The model consists of a finite but arbitarily large number of inviscid, homogeneous fluid layers each with a different ...

Abstract: The results from an observational experiment on the mesoscale space-time variability of the Gulf Stream are reported. Various techniques, including aerial surveys, ship trackings of the 15C isotherm at 200 m, drogues and ...
