Abstract: Upper-layer circulation is investigated by using all available historical temperature profiles combined with climatological temperature?salinity relationships in the South China Sea. Two cyclonic eddies are revealed: one ...

Abstract: nalysis of results from a simulated passive tracer confirms the resurfacing of South Pacific Tropical Water in the equatorial Pacific. Over the period of integration (1993?2011), both the volume and barycenter of the South ...

Abstract: ow-frequency variability of the South Pacific Subtropical Gyre is investigated using satellite altimeter and Argo data. In most of the region studied, both sea surface height and steric height exhibit a linearly increasing ...

Abstract: nalysis of the 62-yr hindcast outputs from an eddy-resolving ocean general circulation model reveals a prominent decadal variability in the upper-layer (0?745 m) Luzon Strait transport (LST), a key component of the South ...

Abstract: A new climatology using historical temperature and salinity data in the western Pacific is constructed to examine the bifurcation of the North Equatorial Current (NEC). Integrating dynamically calculated circulation from ...

Abstract: The mean seasonal cycle of the western boundary currents in the tropical North Pacific Ocean is studied diagnostically by combining atmospheric climatologies with drifter, satellite altimetry, and hydrographic data in the ...

Abstract: The circulation in the southeastern tropical Indian Ocean is studied using historical temperature and salinity data. A southward shift of the subtropical gyre at increasing depth dominates the structure of the annual mean ...

Abstract: poradic in situ observations have shown evidence that subthermocline eddies exist off the Mindanao coast. These subthermocline eddies are believed to play an important role in the heat, freshwater, and other ocean property ...

Abstract: Time-averaged circulation is examined using historical hydrographic data near the Australia and Papua New Guinea coast in the Pacific. By averaging the data along isopycnal surfaces in a 0.5° ? 0.5° grid, the authors are ...
