RISA Comparison of Measured and Wind-derived Ekman Transport at 11°N in the Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A comparison of measured and wind-derived ageostrophic transport is presented from a zonal transect spanning the Atlantic Ocean along 11°N. The transport per unit depth shows a striking surface maximum that decays to nearly ...
The Mean and the Time Variability of the Shallow Meridional Overturning Circulation in the Tropical South Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he meridional transport in the Pacific Ocean subtropical cell is studied for the period from 2004 to 2011 using gridded Argo temperature and salinity profiles and atmospheric reanalysis surface winds. The poleward Ekman ...
Decadal Spinup of the South Pacific Subtropical Gyre
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An increase in the circulation of the South Pacific Ocean subtropical gyre, extending from the sea surface to middepth, is observed over 12 years. Datasets used to quantify the decadal gyre spinup include satellite altimetric ...
Estimating the Velocity and Transport of Western Boundary Current Systems: A Case Study of the East Australian Current near Brisbane
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractWestern boundary currents (WBCs) are highly variable narrow meandering jets, making assessment of their volume transports a complex task. The required high-resolution temporal and spatial measurements are available ...
