Abstract: Moored records of zonal velocity in the western equatorial Indian Ocean are dominated by motion of semi-annual period. The motion is coherent over an array spanning more than 1000 km along the equator, 160 km across the ...

Abstract: Vertical profiles of horizontal velocity made along 53°E in the western Indian Ocean, during and after he onset of the southwest monsoon in 1976, show features in zonal velocity of relatively small vertical scale. Persistence ...

Abstract: Vertically propagating linear wave calculations using realistic equatorial buoyancy profiles are presented which show the percentage of the downward surface energy flux that reaches the deep equatorial oceans. The percentages ...

Abstract: Structure and stability of the multiple equilibria of the thermohaline circulation am studied using 2 ? 2 and 3 ? 2 box models. Thermohaline catastrophe is a shallow phenomenon and its time evolution consists of three ...

Abstract: Horizontal currants and dynamic height anomalies measured with a vertical profiler in the central equatorial Pacific during January 1981, February 1982 and April 1982 show significant changes in the upper ocean which are ...

Abstract: As part of an observational study of ocean subduction, SeaSoar surveys were carried out following subducting water tagged by bobber floats during their deployment in the spring of 1991 and again in the fall of 1992 and ...
