Abstract: Numerical simulations of the propagation of cyclonic Gulf Stream rings are made using a primitive equation ?-plane model of a flat-bottomed two-layer ocean with a rigid lid. Initially circular eddies having, upper and deep ...

Abstract: The seasonal thermocline in the Sargasso Sea near 30°45?N, 71°45?W was measured in July 1981 using a towed thermistor army with ?0.5 m horizontal and vertical resolution. A 200-km long section of the survey path is analyzed ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the tendency for an eastward-propagating modon to form from a mesoscale eddy which has an inclined vertical axis and different senses of rotation in the upper and deep oceans. This scenario, which has ...

Abstract: In this paper steadily rotating modons that are trapped over topographic features with finite horizontal length scales are described. The quasigeostrophic equation over topography is transformed to a frame rotating with ...

Abstract: Numerical simulations have been performed to understand the generation and evolution of mushroom-like patterns observed in remote sensing images of the ocean surface. A two-layer, shallow-water model is employed using a ...

Abstract: he authors address the propagation of continental shelf waves in the Mid-Atlantic Bight. An analytical model of the bathymetry in the region is constructed by representing the continental shelf as a gently sloping bottom, ...

Abstract: Acoustic Doppler profiler measurements of inertial waves embedded within the high shell region of a cold core ring in the Sargasso Sea are described. By repeatedly traversing the same point from different directions, a ...

Abstract: This paper deals with flow in a rectilinear channel on a rotating earth. The flow is directed perpendicular to the background planetary vorticity; both an analytical theory and numerical simulations are employed. The ...

Abstract: This work examines the presence of internal-inertial waves in a front in the North Atlantic subtropical convergence zone. Results of Doppler shear profiler and towed thermistor chain surveys are displayed to document the ...
