Crossing of the Equator by the Deep Western Boundary Current in the Western Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Property distributions and geostrophic shear from a hydrographic section near 37°W in the Atlantic Ocean show the deep western boundary current (DWBC) in the North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) established against the western ...
Transequatorial Flow of Antarctic Bottom Water in the Western Atlantic Ocean: Abyssal Geostrophy at the Equator
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In its general northward flow along the western trough of the Atlantic, Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) must pass over several sills separating the various abyssal basins. At the equator, the western trough is deformed by ...
Distribution and Circulation of Labrador Sea Water
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Labrador Sea Water is the final product of the cyclonic circulation of Subpolar Mode Water in the open northern North Atlantic (McCartney and Talley, 1982). The temperature and salinity of the convectively formed Subpolar ...
Warm-to-Cold Water Conversion in the Northern North Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A box Model of warm-to-cold-water conversion in the northern North Atlantic is developed and used to estimate conversion rates, given water mass temperatures, conversion paths and rate of air-sea heat exchange. The northern ...
Eastward Flow through the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at 11°N and Its Influence on the Abyss of the Eastern Basin
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The dilute Antarctic Bottom Water of the North Atlantic eastern trough is supplied from the western trough through fractures in the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. In particular, the influence on eastern trough property distributions ...
Atlantic Climate Variability and Predictability: A CLIVAR Perspective
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three interrelated climate phenomena are at the center of the Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR) Atlantic research: tropical Atlantic variability (TAV), the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), and the Atlantic ...
