RISObservations of New, Large and Stable Abyssal Currents at Midlatitudes along 165°E
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Unexpectedly large and stable abyssal mean flow have recently been observed along 165°E, between 31° and 41°N. These results are based on two deployments of a moored array for approximately a year each. Time-averaged ...
Exploration of the Eddy Field in the Midlatitude North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fourteen moorings were deployed across the midlatitude North Pacific 165°E to 152°W, for approximately 2 years during 1983?85. Ten mooring sites had previously been occupied at similar latitudes (30°?40°N nominal) for ...
A Comparison of the Mid-Latitude Eddy Fields in the Western North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Latitudinal distributions of estimates of eddy kinetic energy and off-diagonal component of the horizontal Reynolds stresses are demonstrated to have similar shapes at corresponding (generally western) locations, but at ...
On the Effects of Horizontal Resolution in a Limited-Area Model of the Gulf Stream System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An adiabatic, primitive equation, eddy-resolving circulation model has been applied to the Gulf Stream System from Cape Hatteras to east of the Grand Banks (30°?48°N, 78°?45°W). A two-layer version of the model was driven ...
Observed and Numerically Simulated Kinetic Energies for MODE Eddies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It is demonstrated that the outcome of an intercomparison between data and the vertical distribution of eddy kinetic energy predicted by a previously developed numerical model of the MODE area is frequency dependent. In ...
Zonal Velocity Structure and Transport in the Kuroshio Extension
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The meridional structure of the zonal flow in the Kuroshio Extension is investigated using a combination of data from hydrographic sections and moored current meter arrays. We emphasize 165°E, between 30° and 42°N, where ...
Zonal Penetration Scale of Model Midlatitude Jets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: All available observations indicate that the most energetic time-dependent currents are located in the vicinity of intense large-scale oceanic current systems. This characteristic is also a basic property of eddy-resolving ...
Geostrophic Volume Transport in High Eddy-Energy Areas of the Kuroshio Extension and Gulf Stream
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three new deep hydrographic sections taken in July 1980, May 1981 and May 1982, between 29?41°N along 152°E across the high eddy-energy area of the Kuroshio Extension are used to compute the relative geostrophic transport ...
Spreading of Denmark Strait Overflow Water in the Western Subpolar North Atlantic: Insights from Eddy-Resolving Simulations with a Passive Tracer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he oceanic deep circulation is shared between concentrated deep western boundary currents (DWBCs) and broader interior pathways, a process that is sensitive to seafloor topography. This study investigates the spreading and ...
