Abstract: This article presents a method for obtaining the mean structure of the temperature, specific volume anomaly, and velocity of an ocean current, using isopycnal float data combined with gravest empirical mode (GEM) fields ...

Abstract: urface dispersion properties in the southwestern Gulf of Mexico are studied by using a set of 441 drifters released during a 7-yr period and tracked for 2 months on average. The drifters have a drogue below the surface ...

Abstract: To obtain a description of the hydrographic state of the North Atlantic Current?subpolar front (NAC?SPF) system, historical hydrographic data from the subpolar North Atlantic are projected into a baroclinic streamfunction ...

Abstract: The flow of subtropical waters carried into the northern North Atlantic Ocean by the North Atlantic Current? subpolar front system (NAC?SPF) is an important component of the meridional overturning circulation. These waters ...

Abstract: AbstractA set of float trajectories, deployed at 1500- and 2500-m depths throughout the deep Gulf of Mexico from 2011 to 2015, are analyzed for mesoscale processes under the Loop Current (LC). In the eastern basin, December ...

Abstract: AbstractThe large-scale circulation of the bottom layer of the Gulf of Mexico is analyzed, with special attention to the historically least studied western basin. The analysis is based on 4 years of data collected by 158 ...

Abstract: ABSTRACTFourteen autonomous profiling floats, equipped with CTDs, were deployed in the deep eastern and western basins of the Gulf of Mexico over a four-year interval (July 2011?August 2015), producing a total of 706 casts. ...

Abstract: AbstractA new set of deep float trajectory data collected in the Gulf of Mexico from 2011 to 2015 at 1500- and 2500-m depths is analyzed to describe mesoscale processes, with particular attention paid to the western Gulf. ...
