Abstract: Long, low waves preceding the arrival of the visible swell from a storm have been recorded off Pendeen, England, and Woods Hole, Massachusetts, by means of new instruments for the measurement and analysis of ocean waves. ...

Abstract: The horizontal angular deflection of a ray path through a circular eddy is roughly 2v, where v is the fractional variation in sound speed at the eddy center; v may reach 0.03 for intense Gulf Stream rings but is typically ...

Abstract: Spectra of the vertical displacement (potential energy) have been observed to be only slightly enhanced at the buoyancy frequency ? = N, whereas spectra of horizontal velocity u, v (kinetic energy) are greatly enhanced at ...

Abstract: Streamlines of oceanic mass transport are derived from solutions to a vertically integrated vorticity equation which relates planetary vorticity, lateral stress curl, and the curl of the stress exerted by the winds on the ...
