RISEffects of a Thermistor String Mounted between the Acoustic Beams of an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A useful extension of upward-looking buoy-mounted acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs), in particular for studying surface-mixed-layer dynamics from underneath, would be to combine them with a thermistor cable for ...
Analysis of Seasonal Current Variations in the Western Equatorial Indian Ocean: Direct Measurements and GFDL Model Comparison
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The seasonal cycles found in moored current measurements in the equatorial Somali Current region and along the equator between 50° and 60°E are compared with the multilayer Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory model for ...
Measurements in the Source Region of the Somali Current during the Monsoon Reversal
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Temperature and current records were obtained from four subsurface moorings deployed in the source region of the Somali Current from mid-January to mid-July 1976. The first part of the records from January until early April ...
Continental Shelf Waves in the Florida Straits
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Current measurements from three stations along the east coast of Florida at about 300 m water depth with a maximum longshore separation of 180 km were used to analyze for the presence of propagating waves. The analysis was ...
Observations with Moored Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers in the Convection Regime in the Golfe du Lion
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the Golfe du Lion, south of France, favorable conditions for deep winter convection exist and were documented by the MEDOC experiments during 1969?75. A renewed investigation of that regime with upward-looking moored ...
Labrador Sea Water Tracked by Profiling Floats—From the Boundary Current into the Open North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fifteen profiling floats were injected into the deep boundary current off Labrador. They were ballasted to drift in the core depth of Labrador Sea Water (LSW) at 1500-m depth and were deployed in two groups during March ...
Meandering and Transport Variations of the Florida Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Current meter observations were collected from a three-dimensional array moored in the Florida Straits between December 1983 and June 1984 as part of the Subtropical Atlantic Climate Studies (STACS) program. Approximately ...
Variability of the Somali Current System during the Onset of the Southwest Monsoon, 1979
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An array of six current-meter moorings and several coastal temperature recorders was deployed on the shelf and continental slope off northern Somalia from March to July 1979; a seventh mooring was placed near 2°S. In ...
Water-Mass Distributions at Intermediate Layers off the Somali Coast during the Onset of the Southwest Monsoon, 1979
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hydrographic observations at intermediate depth in the Somali Basin have been made during and after the transition from the northeast monsoon to the southwest monsoon, 1979. The data are discussed in relation to measurements ...
Hydrographic Structure of the Convection Regime in the Gulf of Lions: Winter 1987
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Deep winter convection in the northwestern Mediterranean (Gulf of Lions) and the subsequent formation of Mediterranean Deep Water were observed using advanced oceanographic instrumentation during a six-week long experiment ...
