Vertical Vorticity Balance in Meanders Downstream the Agulhas Retroflection
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Agulhas Current flows poleward along the western boundary of the southeastern Indian Ocean where, at the southernmost latitude of the African continent, it executes a dramatic anticyclonic turn, or retroflection, to ...
Recovery of Near-Surface Velocity from Undrogued Drifters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors have quality controlled six global datasets of drifting buoy data, made comparisons of 15-m drogued and undrogued buoy observations, and developed a 2D linear regression model of the difference between drogued ...
Wind-Driven Ageostrophic Transport in the North Equatorial Countercurrent of the Eastern Pacific at 95°W
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of horizontal velocity from two shipboard acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs), as well as wind, temperature, and salinity observations from a cruise during June?July 2001, are used to compute a simplified ...
Upper-Ocean Inertial Currents Forced by a Strong Storm. Part I: Data and Comparisons with Linear Theory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A strong, isolated October storm generated 0.35?0.7 m s?1 inertia] frequency currents in the 40-m deep mixed layer of a 300 km?300 km region of the northeast Pacific Ocean. The authors describe the evolution of these ...
Mean Dynamic Topography of the Ocean Derived from Satellite and Drifting Buoy Data Using Three Different Techniques
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Presented here are three mean dynamic topography maps derived with different methodologies. The first method combines sea level observed by the high-accuracy satellite radar altimetry with the geoid model of the Gravity ...
