Abstract: Two years of observations from an array of 16 inverted echo sounders deployed south of Australia near 51°S, 143.5°E are combined with hydrographic observations from the region to estimate the differences in baroclinic ...

Abstract: Moored temperature sensors, whether fixed or profiling, routinely need to be corrected to remove the signals associated with the vertical motion of the sensors when the moorings ?blow over? in strong flow events (for ...

Abstract: Altimetric observations of sea surface height anomaly (SSHA) from the TOPEX/Poseidon and ERS satellites, hydrography, and the ECMWF and Florida State University wind products are used to track warm water (≥20°C) as it is ...

Abstract: Previous studies have indicated that the volume of warm water (WWV) in the equatorial Pacific is intrinsically related to the dynamics of the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle. A gridded subsurface temperature ...

Abstract: or more than 30 years, the volume transport of the Florida Current at 27°N has been regularly estimated both via voltage measurements on a submarine cable and using ship-based measurements of horizontal velocity at nine ...

Abstract: In the presence of a strong current, such as the Gulf Stream or the North Atlantic Current, current meter moorings are known to ?blow over? due to drag from the moving water. This dipping of the current meters, which has ...

Abstract: The addition of an accurate pressure sensor to the inverted echo sounder (IES) has allowed for the development of a new method for calibrating the IES?s acoustic travel-time record without the need for coincident ...

Abstract: This paper describes observed changes in surface winds, sea surface temperature (SST), and the volume of water warmer than 20°C (WWV) in the equatorial Pacific Ocean for the period 1980?99. The purpose is to test recent ...

Abstract: Interactions between motional electric fields and lateral gradients in electrical conductivity (e.g., seafloor topography) produce boundary electric charges and galvanic (i.e., noninductive) secondary electric fields that ...

Abstract: Geostrophic and Ekman transports calculated from observations of subsurface thermal structure and surface winds are used to determine vertical velocities and transports as a function of time, depth, and longitude in the ...
