The Basin Waters of the Bransfield Strait
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hydrographic data were obtained within the Bransfield Strait and adjacent waters during February and March 1975 by R/V Conrad and R/V Melville as part of FDRAKE 75. Within the Strait the circumpolar Deep Water is either ...
Structure and Transport of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current at Drake Passage from Short-Term Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three-week average speeds from an array of current meter moorings which spanned Drake Passage were used in conjunction with geostrophic calculations to estimate the short-term transport of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. ...
On the Characteristics and Circulation of the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The waters found within the southwestern Atlantic Ocean extend into it as separate lavers with markedly different characteristics. Along the western boundary the deeper waters, derived from the North Atlantic, are warm, ...
Analyzed Surface Meteorological Fields over the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico for 1992–94: Mean, Seasonal, and Monthly Patterns
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The primary objective of this work is to formulate surface meteorological fields over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico for the period from April 1992 through November 1994 useful for the study of mesoscale processes and for ...
Currents and Temperatures as Observed in Drake Passage During 1975
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Current and temperature records from 10 meters on six year-long moorings deployed during February 1975 in Drake Passage are examined and discussed in the context of hydrographic data from that area. The mean flow directions ...
A Comparison among LATEX, NCEP, and ERS-1 Scatterometer Winds over the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hourly wind fields for the northwestern Gulf of Mexico (here called LATEX winds) were constructed from in situ measurements for the period April 1992 through November 1994 using statistical (optimal) interpolation. Here ...
Evolution of a Sustained Ocean Observing System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) was initiated in the early 1990s with sponsorship by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission, the International Council for Science, the United Nations Environment Programme, ...
An Ocean Observing System for Climate
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Designs and implementation are proceeding for a Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and a Global Climate Observing System (GCOS). The initial design for the ocean component of the GCOS, which is also the climate module ...
