RISEddies in the Labrador Sea as Observed by Profiling RAFOS Floats and Remote Sensing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from profiling RAFOS floats, TOPEX/Poseidon altimetry, and the alongtrack scanning radiometer (ATSR) aboard ERS-1 have been used to describe the spatial and seasonal patterns of eddy variability in the Labrador Sea. ...
An Alternative Hypothesis for the Origin of the “Mediterranean” Salt Lens Observed off the Bahamas in the Fall of 1976
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A hypothesis is presented that the original salt lens, or ?meddy,? observed off the Bahamas in the fall of 1976 may have been formed, not near the Mediterranean outflow, but instead in the vicinity of the northwest corner ...

Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A meddy, an eddy formed from Mediterranean source water, was surveyed in detail with two types of expendable profilers and a CTD instrument. The muddy comprised two distinct, vertically aligned tenses with a combined ...
An Electromagnetic Vorticity and Velocity Sensor for Observing Finescale Kinetic Fluctuations in the Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An instrument has been developed that measures finescale velocity and vorticity in seawater based on the principles of motional induction. This instrument, the electromagnetic vorticity meter (EMVM), measures components ...
