Abstract: Monthly mean dynamic topography (0/500 db) along the great-circle section between Honolulu and San Francisco reveals four principal current regimes: a northerly flow immediately adjacent to the Hawaiian Islands, a broad ...

Abstract: Twenty-six year time sequences of upper thermocline temperature block-averaged in 5-degree latitude and longitude squares reveal strong, in-phase vertical coherence and low to moderate horizontal coherence over 550 km. ...

Abstract: Seven years of XBT observations collected between Honolulu and San Francisco reveal subsurface temperature fluctuations with strong, in-phase vertical coherence and fair horizontal coherence over 1000 km distance. Their ...

Abstract: A previously developed analytic model of Rossby wave-induced mean current along lateral boundary is least-squares fitted to the geostrophic current derived from two closely sampled hydrographic sections windward (northeast) ...

Abstract: We derive linear equations for the study of baroclinic instability of a non-zonal oceanic shear flow whose direction is allowed to change with depth. These equations can be used to study unstable disturbances as well as ...
