Abstract: Two surveys of the waters over an area of the continental shelf in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico were made during January 1966. The first observation period was just before a major outbreak of cold, dry air; the second ...

Abstract: The kinetic energy levels Of horizontal oscillations near and above the inertial frequency are described based on 84 current records made during 5 years at Drake Passage. Instrument depths ranged from 280 to 3600 m. Moorings ...

Abstract: An equatorward meander in the Antarctic Polar Front at Drake Passage was observed to amplify and pinch off during January and early February 1979, forming a cold-core. cyclonic current fins with a radius of ?50 km. This ...

Abstract: Estimates of the net transport through Drake Passage are made for three periods during which the year-long DRAKE 79 current meter array spanning the Passage was in operation. Relative geostrophic shears from hydrographic ...

Abstract: Between 25 October and 11 December of 1973, 1015 surface drifters were launched at 36 stations in the American Mediterranean. Returns from 75 drifters (7.4%) have been received from 23 (64%) of the 36 stations. No flow ...

Abstract: During the austral summer of 1974?75 direct measurements of currents in the Drake Passage were made. One data set was collected by the Soviet Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute while another set was collected by Oregon ...
