On the Variability of Antarctic Circumpolar Current Fronts Inferred from 1992–2011 Altimetry
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ntarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) fronts, defined as water mass boundaries, have been known to respond to large-scale atmospheric variabilities, especially the Southern Hemisphere annular mode (SAM) and El Niño?Southern ...
Southwest Pacific Ocean Water-Mass Changes between 1968/69 and 1990/91
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Water-mass changes are estimated in the southwest Pacific Ocean by comparing a meridional hydrographic section along 170°W between 60°S and the equator occupied in 1968/69 during the Southern Cross cruise and again in 1990 ...
Tracing Southwest Pacific Bottom Water Using Potential Vorticity and Helium-3
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study uses potential vorticity and other tracers to identify the pathways of the densest form of Circumpolar Deep Water in the South Pacific, termed ?Southwest Pacific Bottom Water? (SPBW), along the 28.2 kg m?3 surface. ...
