Abstract: Using COADS data spanning 1947?1988, we describe the regional nature of the Atlantic Ocean wind-driven circulation between 30°8 and 60°N and its annual and interannual variability. The Sverdrup streamfunction defines the ...

Abstract: Frequency response properties of North Atlantic (5°?57°N) sea surface temperature anomaly (Tsa) variability with periods of several months to 20 years are characterized using the Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set ...

Abstract: A linear relationship between tidal height (sea level of tidal frequencies) and tidal transport near 27°N in the Straits of Florida is confirmed. Transport estimates from this relationship for the O1 and M2 constituents ...

Abstract: Current-meter observations obtained at two sites on the continental slope of the eastern Gulf of Mexico, at nominal positions of 29°N, 88°W (the Mobile site) and 27.5°N, 85.5°W (the Tampa site) are presented. Data were ...

Abstract: On 10 August 1976 Hurricane Belle passed rapidly over the highly stratified shelf of the New York Bight. Records from Aanderaa current-meter moorings show that the response to the hurricane depended strongly on bathymetry. ...

Abstract: A linear relationship exists between sea level and the north component of the depth-averaged tidal velocity in the Straits of Florida. This relationship is used as a one-dimensional model to predict barotropic tidal currents ...

Abstract: Current observations are compared from upward- and downward-looking acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) deployed on the West Florida Shelf (WFS). Despite regional differences, statistical analyses show good agreement ...
