Abstract: An entrainment and diffusion model has been applied to successive observations of a decaying Gulf Stream cyclonic ring to investigate changes in the streamline pattern as the ring moved from deep water onto Blake Plateau. ...

Abstract: The parametric model used by Schmitz and Vastano (1975) to investigate a Gulf Stream cyclonic ring has been applied to successive observations of a Gulf of Mexico anticyclonic ring. Coefficients for a polynomial representation ...

Abstract: Eight cruises over a 10-month period in the North Atlantic have provided the Cyclonic Ring Experiment with observations of two rings. Life histories, structure and structural changes have been studied with emphasis on the ...

Abstract: Field observations provide a data base that supports a comparison of ring structures in terms of the background Sargasso Sea environment. Five ring surveys, three from the 1967 sequence, a big baby ring and ring AL, were ...
