Abstract: Concurrent shipboard ADCP and CTD sections are used to calculate the mean velocity, transport, and potential vorticity fields associated with the Pacific equatorial subsurface countercurrents (SCCs). Averaged in stream ...

Abstract: An isopycnal stream-coordinate analysis of velocity, transport, and potential vorticity (PV), recently applied to observations of the subsurface countercurrents (SCCs) in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, is applied here to ...
