Abstract: The annual cycle and spatial patterns of subsurface heat storage Qt and divergence of heat transport Qv in the tropical Atlantic Ocean (30°N?20°S, east of 80°W) are studied on the basis of subsurface temperature soundings ...

Abstract: The subsurface thermal structure in the tropical Atlantic Ocean (30°N?20°S, East of 80°W) is studied on the basis of an extensive data bank of subsurface soundings. Calendar monthly maps are presented showing mixed layer ...

Abstract: An analysis of sea-surface temperature (SST) and surface winds in selected areas of the tropical Atlantic indicates that the nonseasonal variability of SST in the eastern equatorial Atlantic (Gulf of Guinea) is highly ...

Abstract: Thirty-six hundred temperature profiles collected during 1984 were assimilated into a multilayer primitive equation model of the tropical Atlantic Ocean. The method consists in a monthly correction of the simulated temperature ...
