Abstract: The potential vorticity (PV) front observed in the upper thermocline at the northern edge of the Gulf Stream has been thought of as an inhibitor to lateral motion of parcels on isopycnals. The role of the PV front in ...

Abstract: Lagrangian trajectories may be estimated with an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) as an alternative to tracking parcels with floats. By using the depth of isopycnals from a conductivity?temperature?depth (CTD) ...
