Abstract: Profiles from CTD surveys in the Northeastern Pacific are used to study temperature, salinity and density finestructures. Finestructures are defined here as those perturbations of the thermodynamic fields which are not due ...

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 ...

Abstract: Recent measurements over the sill in the Yucatan Channel indicate that the deepest flows between the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, those that take place below the sill level at the Florida Straits, have zero mean ...

Abstract: he f-plane reduced-gravity model has been extended with the parameterization of lateral friction in the momentum equations. The parameterization should preferably fulfill some requisites. One of them is that in the absence ...

Abstract: Sixteen months of observations from a surface-to-bottom mooring in the central Gulf of Mexico show that acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) are useful for directly measuring the vertical velocity within mesoscale ...

Abstract: ata from five moorings deployed in the Bay of Campeche during November 2007?July 2008 are used to analyze subinertial motions of waters below 1000-m depth. To the authors? knowledge, this is the first time such a comprehensive ...

Abstract: AbstractThe coupling between the upper (z < 1000-m depth) and deep (z > 1500 m) circulation in the western Gulf of Mexico (WGoM) driven by the arrival of Loop Current eddies (LCEs) is analyzed from moorings measuring ...

Abstract: elocity data from a mooring array deployed northeast of the Campeche Bank (CB) show the presence of subinertial, high-frequency (below 15 days) velocity fluctuations within the core of the northward flowing Loop Current. ...
