Abstract: During a 5-day period in late winter 1984, temperature were measured at 9 depths beneath a drifting spar buoy to a relative accuracy of 2 mK. The depths ranged from 15 to 145 m in a mixing layer that was nearly homogeneous ...

Abstract: A study of mesoscale subduction at the Antarctic Polar Front (PF) is conducted by use of hydrographic data from a high-resolution, quasi-synoptic survey of the front. The geostrophic velocity and isopycnal potential vorticity ...
