Abstract: The seasonal variation of large-scale upwelling off northwestern Mexico is investigated by means of the divergence of the Ekman transport, computed for a 1° latitude-longitude grid. It is found, by using such a close grid, ...

Abstract: The thermohaline structure, vertical stability and baroclinic flow between the Gulf of California entrance and the Revilla Gigedo islands are investigated by means of closely spaced salinity and temperature depth profiles ...

Abstract: The oceanic fronts in the subarctic region of the central North Pacific are investigated and related to atmospheric forcing. The thermohaline structure indicates a near balance between horizontal temperature and salinity ...

Abstract: The duration of nonseasonal sea and air temperature oscillations above and below arbitrarily fixed levels is investigated. There is close agreement between the observed mean durations and those expected from theory for a ...

Abstract: The thermohaline structure, fronts, and sea-air energy exchange of the trade wind region east of Hawaii are investigated. The wind stress, heat, salt and buoyancy flux fields at the sea surface are evaluated on a 1° ...

Abstract: An analysis is made of 90-year sea level atmospheric pressure records along the Pacific coast of North America and in adjacent regions. An investigation of the power spectra of monthly mean and extreme pressure fluctuations ...

Abstract: An analysis is made of historical temperature records in the western United States. An investigation of the power spectra of monthly mean and extreme temperature fluctuations in the frequency range between 0 and 6 cycles ...

Abstract: In the central North Pacific, temperature and salinity depth profiles show considerable fine structure, the features of which are most pronounced in the thermocline and halocline, as well as near water mass boundaries. By ...

Abstract: Oceanic fronts in the subtropical frontal zone north of Hawaii are investigated and related to atmospheric forcing. Particular attention is paid to the winter of 1974 when a detailed study was made of the thermohaline ...

Abstract: The three-dimensional thermohaline. sound velocity and baroclinic flow structure of the. pacific sub-tropical front during January and February 1990 are discussed. The front is meander-like, with a wavelength of 180 km, a ...
