The Origin of an Anomalous Ring in the Southeast Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A warm core ring in the southeast Atlantic, previously thought to have come from the Brazil?Falklands (Malvinas) confluence, is traced back to the Agulhas retroflection. The path of this ring, sampled at 36°S, 4°E on 23 ...
Oceanic Fluxes in the South Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A box inverse of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment A10 (30°S) and A11 (nominally 45°S) sections in the South Atlantic Ocean was undertaken. The authors find a heat flux across A10 of 0.22 ± 0.08 PW, consistent with ...
Global and Full-Depth Ocean Temperature Trends during the Early Twenty-First Century from Argo and Repeat Hydrography
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe early twenty-first century?s warming trend of the full-depth global ocean is calculated by combining the analysis of Argo (top 2000 m) and repeat hydrography into a blended full-depth observing system. The ...

Circulation, Heat, and Freshwater Transport at 36°N in the Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In May and June 2005, a transatlantic hydrographic section along 36°N was occupied. A velocity field is calculated using inverse methods. The derived 36°N circulation has an overturning transport (maximum in the overturning ...
Recent Water Mass Changes Reveal Mechanisms of Ocean Warming
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Control of Mode and Intermediate Water Mass Properties in Drake Passage by the Amundsen Sea Low
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he evolution of the physical properties of Subantarctic Mode Water (SAMW) and Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) in the Drake Passage region is examined on time scales down to intraseasonal, within the 1969?2009 period. ...
Decadal Changes in the South Indian Ocean Thermocline
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A significant change in properties of the thermocline is observed across the whole Indian Ocean 32°S section between 1987 and 2002. This change represents a reversal of the pre-1987 freshening and decreasing oxygen ...
Continuous Estimate of Atlantic Oceanic Freshwater Flux at 26.5°N
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he first continuous estimates of freshwater flux across 26.5°N are calculated using observations from the RAPID?MOCHA?Western Boundary Time Series (WBTS) and Argo floats every 10 days between April 2004 and October 2012. ...
